A thread to discuss the merits of those Aquanauts we like the best.Remember there are no winners and there certainly are no losers.Just a discussion of which Aquanauts we like and why.Pictures are a must whenever possible, remember it's awfully hard to discuss the beauty of something without a picture.From the Patek Phillipe website:Aquanaut The perfect dress sports watchThe Patek Philippe Aquanaut, launched in 1997, is a model of casual elegance that combines technical perfection with uncompromising performance and imaginative creativity in design.Its fascinating appeal originates from a surprisingly modern form with a gently rounded octagonal shape. The surface structure of the superbly finished landmark dial reflects the attractive texture of the strap. The complex construction of the case is underscored by the screw-down crown for extra protection on the wrist of active people. The Tropical strap, made of a high-tech composite, is soft, comfortable, resistant and hypoallergenic.
