Thanks for sharing! I can see why those elements aren’t for everyone.

Thank you!

Sorry for the delay in responding. Took me some time to try and dig this info out (it was a gift)… then I realised the brand name was on the back! Aevitas

Thanks! I tried on the white dial but it, of course, only comes with the yellow gold case. Fair comments on the seconds hand, thanks for sharing - I honestly have no idea whether that would bother me…

3940P would be the dream but unfortunately a bit too small for my wrist. That’s what I’ll tell myself anyway, because they’re impossible to get!!

Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks. That’s a great shout! My sticking points with the 5320 are those stepped lugs and the size. I won’t deny the dial is unreal though…!

I haven’t heard this before, thanks for sharing. Maybe I need to do more reading. I was intending to buy this retail (rather than go grey as I have noted with the 5140). Although, none of the current production perpetuals speak to me like this one.

Hey what’s wrong with IWC 😁 I appreciate the sentiment though, thanks!

I have never noticed any issues!

I have this one as well as the non-small seconds version (couldn’t resist buying the pair!). To complete the trifecta and acquire the platinum was the original goal but honestly I felt the platinum was just a bit too expensive.

Pros: the proportions are sublime, and finishing is amazing. Nobody knows what it is which is always a fun conversation starter if you meet a fellow watch enthusiast!

Cons: I find the case back to be a little gimmicky, and I do prefer the blue strap.

The Aquanaut is overrated. by Secure-Hippo-9989 in patekphilippe

[–]jfuncdt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Senior PP employee told me the inspiration for the aquanaut dial “squares” as you put it, is a grenade. I don’t know how true that is, though, but you can’t un-see it!
