He got it a decade plus ago when few were interested in 5165A which is why it was quickly discontinued.

It was a wedding present from his wife. He keeps it on a very long strap, way too loose. I believe that the reason is that he can more easily play guitar with it that way. Don’t know how to post pics here but you can see it at the edition of Carpool Karaoke starring Sir Paul!

I remember him wearing the Aquanaut on his wedding photo. This was over a decade ago, when the Aquanaut was relatively unknown outside the Patek world.

He just walked in to HSA one day and said ‘I need some help with my watch”. My friend in service came out and was tongue tied!

This is correct.
