The Aquanaut, released in 1997, was a sensation. According to Patek Philippe‘s idea, it was planned to launch an entry-level watch with sports and military attributes to attract young people who had never bought a Patek Philippe before.
♻️ Later, due to changes in market trends and the large amount of funds entering the luxury watch market in recent years, the actual prices of popular watches have been pushed up step by step. The Patek Philippe grenade also became the “substitute model” for the Patek Philippe Nautilus. Why be a “substitute”? After the Nautilus started to be hyped, there was either a queue or the price was too high. The grenade 5167A, which looked somewhat similar to the Nautilus, became the “second best” choice.
✅ The PP grenade watch is the most successful watch for young people. Although it is a one-way winding design, the winding efficiency is excellent. Every inadvertent wrist movement can produce the high-frequency sound of the gear winding the spring in silence.
The connection between the rubber strap and the case is integrated, creating a harmonious look and feel. Because the rubber watch strap is not afraid of water, corrosion, and oxidation, and it is easy to change to different colors and styles.
The texture is completely different from that of Rolex Oysterflex. Rolex is soft, while Patek Philippe is supportive. To be fair, Rolex is better in terms of strap wearing comfort.
Ambitious –
It feels good. It’s my first luxury watch after graduation. The packaging box is very grand and well protected, because it’s a long way from China to Los Angeles. The bracelet is also very beautiful and the dial is perfect. I like it.
Loveable –
It finally arrived today, so I’ll leave a review. I personally feel that this watch is very creative and beautiful. The dial is clearly designed and the time is accurate. The quality of the strap is also good, and the price is much cheaper than in the mall. It’s durable and durable.
