Watchfinder & Co. presents:
A few years back, Patek Philippe introduced a watch from which the world’s press collectively recoiled: the Calatrava Travel Time 5524G. At 42mm and in white gold, it’s a big, heavy brute of a watch, a far cry from the elegance and reserve we’ve come to know of Switzerland’s most prestigious watchmaker. It’s safe to say that no one really gets why Patek Philippe made it, but I can tell you that the brand itself does, and here’s just the thing to prove it: the Patek Philippe Aquanaut.

Great video, beautiful watch!
Will you guys please review more Sinn watches?
This guy could sell ice to an Eskimo… love these videos, keep it up!
Patek Philippe strategy is to be innovative, inventive and inspiring, that’s why they are always one step ahead
This guy could sell scrambled egg triple the price and people would still buy with a smile.
I was fortunate enough to try one of these on as a good friend is a collector and owns one. It wears so sublimely on the wrist. Understated by todays standards for sure.
For me, the Nautilus is a dress watch on a metal strap, but I struggle to understand what the Aquanaut is trying to be. Neither qualify as real sports watches given they pack a relatively fragile movement also found in basic Calatrava’s. The Aquanaut has, externally, all the attributes of a sports watch, but I feel sorry for those who think they can subject it to the same conditions as, say, a Rolex Explorer.
The other thing that’s shocking is how poor the finish of the dial is:
– the irregularity of the printing at 2:25
– the irregularity of the lume application at 3:55
– dirt under the seconds hand at 4:02
It’s frankly unacceptable at this price point. I’ll take any Grand Seiko over this particular Patek reference any day of the week.
I love the watch
Is this a fake Patek?
2:22 (letters of “patek philippe”) 3:56 (Lume) 4:02 (rusty seconds hand?)
The quality of this channels content is unbelievable…
This is the only PP I actually feel drawn to.
Was ugly back then still ugly now with a rubber strap the looks like a tire
*The Old Wealthy Mans Submariner*
Another fantastic video. Macro photography was amazing!
As far as the watch, it is the perfect daily watch. It’s hard to believe how good it is until you spend time with it.
Hi,
Could you please review the Van Cleef &Arpels lady Arpels Planetarium
Bring back the Piano opening!!!
Sorry, what did you just say ..
Thank you very much for the video. You’re absolutely talented.
On top of a wonderful video – reference to “goes to eleven” was particularly fascinating given a context of a more informal culture of kids listening to Nirvana. The phrase itself comes from an mockumentary (one of the first in its kind) – This is Spinal Tap.
The watch has the name but this watch does nothing for me.
AP Royal oak and VC Overseas looks much better
Adoro la marca Patek ,pero este modelo está muy insípido.
Kate wins let wouldn’t share? Haha ha
The 90’s were pretty relaxed? Maybe, you missed the Yugoslav wars and 140000 dead while you enjoyed the safety of UK. Sorry for being this negative, but your comment started me up. The Aquanaut is my favourite watch btw.
Rubber strap on a Patek. Wonder if its synthetic or natural rubber.
Ugly watch no matter how this guy with a British accent says
This would be my go-to watch, if I could afford it. Another great review, thanks!
I am sure if he reviewed a Swatch we would be just as amazed. A gift in convincing
Great video, educational and entertaining.
I love this watch
this guy can sell me a tattoo on my wrist over a watch
3:58 50k and they cant even get the lume on right. Then again look at the apple cult, those people will buy anything with apple on it.
Enjoy all these videos but have just one (genuine) question for you, watch finder. . . Does the voice actually belong to the hands in the video? Or,is it a hand model and a separate voice over person? It’s been bugging me!
Keep it up, absolute best watch reviews on YT.
It still… isn’t my cup of tea…
