Incoming Aquanaut 5167R

Hi Everyone,

I recently turned down a couple of AP pieces I had requested as I am increasingly drawn to Patek's fabulous range. A couple of weeks later I have been very fortunate to have received the call for the Aquanaut on my wish list.

Super grateful and am very, very happy with it. I have attached some pictures, which I hope people find helpful and have shot the piece alongside the Rolex day-date to compare the rose gold tone. I think they both have their charm but I do marginally prefer the rose gold tone of the Patek.

Congrats! This IMO is the best Aquanaut that Patek makes. You get the classic 40mm case with thin profile and a little heft. It also has a big wow factor compared to the other SS and WG cousins.
