Fresh from the Showcase at SwissWatchExpo. If you're looking at these watches in front
of me and you've been subscribing to the channel you should know exactly
what I'm about to show you two of the most desirable watches on the market
today we're talking Patek Philippe Aquanauts in stock and ready to ship
The youngest the arguably most popular sports watch in the finest of all Swiss manufacturers
Patek Philippe the Aquanaut I think their most beautiful sport model I certainly prefer this to
the Nautilus although that is definitely a pretty controversial opinion to have two beautiful ones
that we have in stock and this is a rarity both 5167 references and go ahead and look online at
the time of this viewing I'm pretty sure we're the only dealer online that can safely say we
have both of these in stock and ready to go and if you haven't seen these in person before they
are absolutely as beautiful and they live up to the hype the first one is this beautiful 18-carat
rose gold model this has sort of in keeping with the original design of the of the Aquanaut it does
have the beautiful sort of Gerald Genta inspired round shape bezel here not an actual dive watch
but definitely more of a sport watchwithout the rotating bezel but this is still something very
elegant even though apparently has been marketed as very much the hip casual watch I still think
this is a very elegant piece true to form to pedically if you haven't seen it before it does
come with the beautiful two-way action like butterfly style clasp here which really looks
incredible and of course you get the Patek logo when you put them together as well the texture
on the rubber strap that this came with and the original Aquanaut did come on a rubber strap the
first time Patek ever did that this has been sort of this pattern here which is consistent with the
motif pattern on the dial is being pretty much consistent from the inception of this model it
is absolutely incredible and of course if you're spending this much money on a Patek
Philippe you are going to want to look at the beautiful movement back here and this one is no
different and absolutely incredible reference here a beautiful yellow gold rotor which actually does
not clash with the rose gold case when other watch manufacturers do this I really find it to be quite
awkward-looking when the rotor's a different color gold than the case itself this one I really don't
mind but this is Patek Philippe so of course they know exactly what they're doing I wouldn't expect
them to make any mistakes with this model at all and then finally my favorite the one that people
absolutely have been clamoring for is the 5167a on the steel bracelet it looks so effortlessly
beautiful on the steel bracelet that it's hard for me to believe that the original Aquanaut was only
on the rubber strap this pretty much seems like an incident hit the second they designed this
bracelet and it's incredible to think that it took so long for something like this to come to market
the dial is essentially the same but this is going to be more of a slate gray I get a little bit of
copper here too this dial is incredibly rich and depending on when the light hits it you can see
so many different colors here the raised Arabic numerals again this is definitely I think the
most modern aspect of this watch is the raised Arabic numerals on this dial but they are super
bright really really legible especially at this 40-millimeter case not a massive watch by any
measure but at least by Patek Philippe standards I mean think this is a very large sport watch for
what you would expect from them and again just like this the uh just like the other ones of the
class it does work in a similar way with the deploy and you do get the logo here where the
two pieces meet and again the same movement they didn't do really anything different as
well although you do still get the yellow gold rotor this one a bit more contrast against the
case back but of course I have a feeling you're going to know if this these Aquanauts are in your
budget whether you're going to go for the steel or the rose gold one definitely depends on what
holes there are in your collection but this one is going to fill a pretty massive void in
whatever collection it gets added to this will be either of these pieces will be an absolute
Crown piece of anyone and probably the higher end of just about anyone's budget who's going to be
shopping on our website so of course I don't want to put off anybody who might be looking for a more
reasonably priced piece these are certainly one of the the more the hardest to get watches on the
market today but really the they live up to the hype in so many different ways but of course if
your budget is Patek Philippe Aquanaut if your budget is calatra if your budget is any of the
other brands that we have on our website we've got hundreds of pieces and we're adding dozens
more just today alone I'm so excited for the new videos that we're going to be coming out
with in the coming weeks so subscribe to this channel if you haven't already so you
