The aquanaut really is a watch that needs to be seen and worn in person to actually understand its beauty. As soon as i saw one in person, i wanted one, and thankfully will be getting one in around 6 weeks time.
All of Patek's watches are absolutely amazing, especially the nautilus. My personal favorite is still the tiffany and co due to its rarity and the odd tiffany blue. But after watching this video, I think I will order the Nautilus with the rubber band, probably in red, because, I only have one red watch in my arsenal, and hey why not, life is short, but my supply of watches doesn't have to be. :)
That's why it's a mechanical watch :) one joke is that someone said that noise is from a fake watch on other posts really didn't own one to have that kind of comments
Congratulations on the watch. Wear in good health, great piece. Did you buy AD, and if yes how long did you wait? There are rumors that PP is a bit more generous with the ADs to help them through the tough period caused by COVID.
Is it beautiful? Certainly Yes ...... Is it worth 40K? Certainly No .......... In plain sentences, that what I thought, but it’s different story for collectors and overwhelmingly rich people
Any person who claims the watch has character is lying. They're just trying to protect their "investment", in the hopes that they'll find a sucker that will pay more than they did, so they make a profit. That's what expensive watch collecting is about
After watching this video I actually don’t like this watch at all! Just means the video explored and explains so many things I never knew! Sell it! Haha I prefer JLC over all watches!
@@watchcraft I just had the birth of my first child this week actually - a girl - so I’m buying the JLC Ultra Thin Moon silver dial to celebrate 😀. Hopefully give to her one day!
@@watchcraft it's sad that people like us love watches can't get the watch we want at a reasonable price we are lucky enough to own this piece with msrp market price doesn't really matter to me as I buy watches to keep and enjoy them with casual money in the meanwhile still interested in other patek or rolex but won't do it as my principle is not to pay the hype that's how sad it is I'm going to enjoy all the watches I have in hand as for other watches that I like, it's good to have but I would be the same happy without them
I don’t believe this… I expected so much more from this watch. The movement is inferior to a simple ETA one and if it didn’t have a decorated see-through case back saying Patek but Tag Heuer, I bet most collectors wouldn’t even look at it let alone stand in line to spend ~$20k for it…
Yup .. my Phylida ‘No dime to buy’ watch actually has a better movement in terms of functionality 🤣. I REALLY don’t get the love people have for these watches? .. Perhaps they are something you really need to try for yourself for real but they seem so plain and boring. I can’t help but think that ‘Lange & Sohne’ make a far superior watch for the same price. Don’t get me wrong .. I’m not knocking this Patek .. if it works for you .. great. But I’m really amazed that the spec is this rough. It’s definitely not for me .. I far prefer my Bremont Kingsman. It maybe never be worth the dizzying heights of money that this Patek is worth .. but for nearly a 10th of the price I feel I’m getting way better bang for my buck.
@@watchcraft it is true, i have not, and you are not supposed to either. And i am also a lefty. BUT... I have operated a chronographe on my wrist, like you are supposed to. So Would be a little more complicated for you to wear a chrono on the right hand, no? and as you say yourself in this video, being into watches is about being a traditionalist... so wearing on the left! ;))
why do you think it's oval? it has the same diameter 12 to 6 as 3 to 9. that's round. or do you include the lugs? well in that case every watch is oval.
The pinnacle of understated elegance combined with so much character ... love it ! True modern classic !

It really is a beautiful watch! Looks most appropriate in casual attire. Incredible closeup shots. Thanks! Keep the videos coming!
Great video for a beautiful, versatile timepiece, I got mine in 2014 from the AD & love it!

Haha I love love love the sound of the rotor spinning. When mine makes the same noise I enjoy the watch even more
yes by now I enjoy it too :-) took me a while to get used to it.
That's why it's a mechanical watch :)

really didn't own one to have that kind of comments
@@andychang7137 yes I heard this comment before too :-)
Wow, you’re a lucky man! Beautiful watch!
Congrats 🎉 Lovely Watch 👏🏾
thank you
I love this watch, i have it in Rose'gold.
never saw the rose gold in person. how is the color of the dial? asking since my "black" dial already looks brownish in some light.
@@watchcraft Darkbrown Deal and same Rubberband.
Noisy and non-hacking? So, basically it's a decorated Seiko 7S26 movement. Haha, joking of course. Love the watch, and great channel!
Thanks Richard
Superb-looking watch ...
Contemporary elegant timepiece. Thanks for the great review!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
Cooles Video! Ich bin übrigens seit 5 Jahren auf der Warteliste... FG aus ZH!
Danke, hoffe du bekommst die Uhr bald!
Patek Philippe is the best!!! excellent description.
thanks Cesar
Absolutely stunning🍺
Great review, keep it up! 👍🏼
thanks man

Thank you very much. I bought AD. I waited close to 2 years.
@@watchcraft the date is fucked! Not even close from being centered!
nicely made vid, good channel

I prefer JLC over all watches!
I still haven't bought may first JLC yet. Having an eye on a Master Control Date Chrono. Which is your favourite JLC?
@@watchcraft I just had the birth of my first child this week actually - a girl - so I’m buying the JLC Ultra Thin Moon silver dial to celebrate 😀. Hopefully give to her one day!
@@JoeyJiggles Congratualtions on both!
Stunning watch. I like the smaller size. Great choice.
The date window doesn't look good! It would look significantly better without a date.
it would look cleaner, yes. but i use my watch to tell the date all the time. i would miss the date window dearly.
@@watchcraft me too
I thought it was made in 97🤔
the first Aquanaut was released in 97, yes.
the one in the video is the second generation with new design and movement.
Worn by Paul McCartney. Need we say more.
Severe lack of taste with the shirt - destroys a bit the beauty of the watch
:-D please explain
it's 50k now...
happy to hear that :-D
@@watchcraft
it's sad that people like us love watches can't get the watch we want at a reasonable price
we are lucky enough to own this piece with msrp
market price doesn't really matter to me as I buy watches to keep and enjoy them with casual money
in the meanwhile still interested in other patek or rolex but won't do it as my principle is not to pay the hype
that's how sad it is
I'm going to enjoy all the watches I have in hand
as for other watches that I like, it's good to have but I would be the same happy without them
My Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167A in due time in Jesus name, thank you God
No it doesn’t worth it
40k for that ….

Yes, worth it if $40k is $40 to you.
Why wear it on the right wrist??
why not?
@@watchcraft the crown is on the wrong side and it is not the traditional side! Watches are built to be worn on left wrist :)
i prefer it this way since i am a lefty.
and honestly, did you ever operate the crown without taking off your watch? :-)
@@watchcraft it is true, i have not, and you are not supposed to either. And i am also a lefty. BUT... I have operated a chronographe on my wrist, like you are supposed to. So Would be a little more complicated for you to wear a chrono on the right hand, no? and as you say yourself in this video, being into watches is about being a traditionalist... so wearing on the left! ;))
good point about the chronos. I'll reconsider once i finally get a Daytona. might take a few years though :-)
I'd much rather spend that money on a Lange. Langes are better watches. Period.
Why the hek you wear it on wrong hand 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤷♂️
it's the right hand for me. lefty
A fucking expensive watch with a fucked up date ! Way off center inside the date window! Good buy buddy 😂
Too Oval, the geometry and aesthetics don’t portray and do good character and reputation for Patek! Elongated and Oval head of the Watch, is Ugly!
why do you think it's oval? it has the same diameter 12 to 6 as 3 to 9. that's round. or do you include the lugs? well in that case every watch is oval.
