Pp Aquanaut travel time 5164A incoming

[reppists]

It’ll be in three colours
black, blue and gold. The travel time function does work.
the downside is the watch is a bit thick
I’ll post the photos later

Now this really made my day! I don't know if there was any other watch I was waiting more than this one!!!

Can you get us any more details? Like factory producing it, movement and timeline?

 

[Legger]

I Like it. The thing I’ve never liked about the Aquanuat is the shape of the 6 so it’s not an issue on this.

The thing i've never liked about the Aquanaut (and the Nautilus as well) is that there is not enough going on, so the Travel Time fills this gap perfectly

 

[nomana]

Bring it on!

But how thick is it exactly?

 

[The Rod]

Based on the side profile pic and comparing it to the regular 5167 rep which is 9.5/10mm thick I would hazard a 12/12.5mm? It looks to be a at least 1mm thicker in the bezel and 1.5mm in the case back.

As the gen is 11mm it would still be ok...

This is gen from the side:

Ya looks very thick. Good looking watch.

Looks good but thickness is a deal killer for me.
This looks as thick as JF AP Diver.

JF AP diver is 42 ×13.8, this one could be 40.8 × 12.5, same proportions. Profile looks similar to the RO perpetual calendar:

In other words way too thick for Patek Philippe.

Well, as the gen is 11mm thick it would be only 1.5mm thicker...regular Aquanauts reps are usually 10mm with gens being 8.5mm, so it's basically the same. I'd like to see some more pics and possibly a video before dismissing it completely.

 

[natasjames]

Comparing to gen... 10.2 mm.

Someone did a measurement on 5167... Gen 8.2mm while V6f 9.5mm. From the pic, this 5164 should be more than 12mm. Lets wait for the actual comparison.

Here thickness of gen is stated as 11mm:

Official Patek website, 10.2mm. If u don't believe in Patek website then have to wait for someone with a gen to measure. As mentioned, someone measured gen 5167 at 8.2mm while patek website, 8.1mm. I rather believe official website than 3rd party.

The travel time function works as gen with the buttons on the side and 12-hour rotation?

 

[Eseips]

can someone explain how this watch actually works? i mean what are the functions for?

In the gen sub-dial at 6 is a date indicator. White skeleton hand is a GMT hand. Home and Away squares indicate if it's day or night in the home time (GMT hand) and away time (regular hour hand). Regular hour hand is operated by the buttons on the left side of the case, while GMT hand is operated by the crown.
