Patek Philippe Aquanaut Jumbo


Guest Sql_pl

Recommended Posts

Just wanted to share a few pics I took of my PP Aquanaut on gen rubber. Watch is very nice, pretty small, wears even smaller than you'd expect from a 40 mm case but it is extremely comfortable. I love the dial design and color that changes depending on lighting conditions, sometimes it is black, sometimes grey, can get even a bit brown at some angles.

Nice numeral markers, decent lume. I am also happy with the way they finished the movement. It is not identical to genuine of course when you look at the back but pearlage on the movement and nice gold rotor surely make it look pretty good for a rep! I wish they made similar effort on a 15300 AP!

Well it looks like Patek Aquanaut does not generate a lot of interest here.

Anyway I thought it was kind of cool - the house pictured above is the house in which Antoni Patek, founder of Patek Philippe was born in 1812 and where he lived till he moved to Warsaw and then to Geneve.

Thanks guys. It really is a great watch, can't get it off my wrist!

I was surprised to see that even Patek Philippe president Thierry Stern wears his 5167 most of the time, even when he attends some serious PP events:

IMHO aquanaut is the most underrated patek (maybe due to it's price or due to the fact that it's consider an entry level for pp owners), it has the same movement than nautilus, it's thin, comfortable, waterproof... I love mine, the only fault is that this watch is a scratch magnet. Can't use mine without seeing a new scratch each day :(

Here's mine (gen 5065), wear it yours in good health M.

thanks so much for the excellent review - i've been waiting for such a nice write up!

definitely an underrated one.

but is the case size 1:1 compared to the gen?

i remember making some size comparisons to the gen a while ago and found some discrepancies (size-wise) but i might also be wrong...

and yes i am talking about the jumbo version, not the mbk one.

where did you find the gen strap?

Great pics.

I have often stated here that my Aquanaut is my personal favorite daily beater.

I too own the MBK Nautilus, and these two PP reps are as good as they get.

Classic Genta designs.

The Aquanaut is the most comfortable light weight watch I own.

And if you like this watch with the rubber strap, take a look at this watch with the 2010

s/s band, turns this beater diver into a real masterpiece.

Thanks for the nice photos.
