Marco!! You’re spot on man with everything you said! I own aquanaut 5167A and paid over double retail for it as well as a few modern Cartiers. The Aquanaut is not worth the money although I love it. It’s just that I wanted a sports watch from Patek to add to the complication and grand complications that I have as well as a Calatrava and an Ellipse and couldn’t justify the price of a Nautilus. I love rubber straps and use after market ones for all my Rolex watches cuz it makes the wearing experience much nicer, therefore I bought that Aquanaut. I never got into the rabbit hole of vintage Cartier for the exact reason you mentioned, which is the quality of their movements and water resistance that makes the watch unwearable. I got into ordering those pieces from the new catalog that is not available for most people. I find the crash a hype watch and probably one of the least appealing designs from Cartier. RM prices are not justifiable and I don’t think it’s just the RM11, it’s just all not justifiable and I’m mind boggled about why these watches cost so much regardless of the innovation and material. Growing up in the Middle East and living for over a decade in Dubai, I still never understood why these Omani Khanjar stamped on a dial or engraved on the case back should make any difference at all in the price. Well I think the same concept applies to Tiffany or Gueblin stamps too. It’s just an excuse and a hype created by grey market dealers to maximise their profit. Roger Smith is overpriced and is not worth the money. I appreciate his art but I believe he is charging too much for it. Great content! I’m a big fan. Good luck.

But didn't Patek come out recently declaring their water-resistance to be *actual* water resistance, and not the pressurized equivalent? Meaning that their 30m means you can actually dive to 30m with it ...

[@choyayahyah]

No, it's 120m. 30m became the default standard for Patek but it's 120m

[@MarcoFerranteWatches]

[@Nobiggiesal]

Completely agree with the 5167, coming from someone that owned it. A 3rd generation Overseas or an AP15300 is much more watch for the money. One in particular to me that I can't comprehend the secondary value is the Daytona LeMans. I've never handled one, but this piece goes for about triple retail. Great vid Marco.

[@lv293]

What made you sell it? Did you not like it overtime?

[@troisk]

The regular Daytona has the lowest supply out of the Rolex pro range, so the LM which is the rarest of Daytonas with a very limited production (the white gold 126529 was discontinued after less than a year, and the current yellow gold 126528 has only been around for less than 6 months and appears to be even more scarce), it's no surprise. And the celebration story, open caseback and revised 4132 movement all add to the hype. Completely agree with the 5167. I've tried one on and although it wears well and has amazing finishing on the movement and case as you'd expect from Patek, it still feels very underwhelming. I find it expensive for MSRP (basically the price of a pre-owned 126500...), let alone for twice MSRP. But with that said I don't think "value" is ever a valid point when it comes to luxury goods. They aren't necessities, you buy what you love at the price you can stomach. You will always find a watch with a better value proposition, all the way down to a Casio F91W.

[@Iuckylukey]

Apparently Genta hated the Aquanaut. That should tell you something.

[@richardmorris6365]

Daytona is so well designed & feels & looks so iconic. It needs to be in the 18k range for steel.

[@MarcoFerranteWatches]

[@MarcoFerranteWatches]

[@miabeatz80]

Another way of looking at the aquanaut and the Nautilus is comparing it to the sub vs gmt. The gmt is pretty much the same watch as the sub just different bezel and gmt hand yet sells almost double retail grey market with the Pepsi and batman. I look at the aquanaut like an alternative to the nautilus for folks who don't want an integrated bracelet but still want Patek prominence that's wearable everyday. That clearly comes with a cost. It's a great addition and alternative to all the dress watch only ethos that Patek have.

[@MarcoFerranteWatches]

I do feel this comparison is apt although I'd say the Sub is more iconic than the GMT while the Aquanaut is not more iconic than the Nautilus. But your point is not lost on me and I don't disagree. Hope you enjoyed this 🙏

Have to agree re: Cartier. Like there’s nothing wrong with them, but they’re so trendy it would hard for them not to be overrated. And, yeah, I don’t understand the Aquanaut secondary market prices. But I also don’t understand why grey market Daytona’s trade at roughly the same prices as VC Overseas Chronographs.

[@keltecdan]

I think the key takeaway would be to stick with the icons and classics within the brand. Cartier would be the Tank and Santos. Patek would be the Nautilus in a complication and any perpetual calendar chronograph or minute repeater. Rolex has quite a few icons but the best would be Daytona and Submariner. I could go on and on.

[@goldcds]

Another great video. I wholeheartedly agree with your analysis. The time only nautilus is insanely overpriced even at it's retail price. I basically dislike all Richard Mille watches, I think they are ugly as can be but do have some interesting technology but the 11 is really bad when a basic movement is used. I was a little shocked to hear that Roger Smith watches had reached that level of price. I am a huge fan of Roger Smith watches, the quality is as good as it gets but the last time I looked at prices, which was a couple years ago, the 3 hand watch with a date was in they $175k range. Now they are $400k+, that seems a little outrageous and also the last time I heard, they were making 12 watches a year, is it really 12 a month now? Anyway, another spot on video.

[@MarcoFerranteWatches]

I think my numbers were inaccurate in terms of production of Roger Smith. I know he expanded his workforce and is able to make more than 1 watch per month but supposedly it is no more than 3 watches per month. I think that solidifies my point even further despite me getting the figures incorrect in the video. And totally agree the price is simply outrageous now. Thank you for the support on the video 🙏

[@blh940]

Excerpt from a watch magazine- a bit of a pushback on the anti outsourced movement view: “the aesthetics and materials of the RMCA4 are vastly different from its base - with largely skeletonised components, the usage of titanium for the bridges, and a plethora of custom components such as its variable geometry winding rotor. Nonetheless, the VMF 6710 is its foundation. So both the base and how Richard Mille ran with it, deserve huge props and offer a perfect example of how purely in-house can be overrated and how a manufacture can make a sourced design very much their own.”

[@MarcoFerranteWatches]

Regardless, the base movement - no matter how modified - is still a Parmigiani movement. I have no trouble using an off the shelf movement. I do have a problem paying $150k for such a watch. Just my opinion. Personally I do not care for the "In-House" movement craze. I think it is ridiculous. Hope my point is not lost on you and hope you enjoyed this video 🙏

I purchase an Stainless Steel Patek Philippe Aquanaut in 1997 for £5750.00 and I've worn it twice as the watch dial looks odds to the rubber strap, and the rubber strap dries out and shrinks. Also you cannot dive in it or go swimming as its only 30 metres and its no way worth more than a 18Kt gold Calatrava. The 1976 Submariner 1680 is a far superior watch in every form and has been a daily wearer and handles everything you can throw at it. Another watch company who makes nice watches is Cartier but their after sales service is absolutely rubbish. I have over the years sent my watches to Cartier service via the AD and they have come back with more scratches on the case than it was sent. The last one was a solid silver Tank which looks like they've given it to a blind apprentice who badly scratched the case and the screws are protruding. It has been sent back to Cartier with a complaint letter as they argued that its not solid silver and plated when its quite clear that it's Sterling silver.

Aquanaut and Nautilus are both 1970’s designs that look almost like digital watches of the era. Not a pleasant shape, not elegant, don’t look sporty and if they didn’t have Patek Phillipe written on them, most people would think they looked very dated (in a bad way).

But then again those watches were $50k at one point while 5712's were also $20k-30k at the time. I don't think it's fair to criticize RM pricing and then praise the 5712 at it's current price since both have benefited from the same type of price action over the same period.

The Tiffany stamp I can understand more given the historical relationship, rarity and given it is stamped on the dial. Hope you enjoyed this 🙏

I recently purchased PP Aquanaut 5167-A. I purposely purchased this time piece because it's Patek in steal, which makes jus so much more special. Also it gives me opportunity to enjoy this watch as a daily. To me this is a solidly built, multi-purpose and elegant piece. I also like simplicity of the watch, as it is very clear to me that luxury and refinement are hardest to achieve in simple forms. For example the dial which can look a bit simple and even boring on photos, shines with different lightings giving different appearances. At one point it is black, another moment it becomes grey or even silver. That's a real candy to the eyes. Polishing on the bezel is perfect. Movement is beautiful. This was and still is my favourite Patek and even though I understand your points, I think some of your justifications why this watch is overpriced are actually reasons why I chose this to be my first and possibly last Patek. Thanks for your video and keep the good work

There are no watches offering value if they are sold above retail . I would even say that a lot of watches are not worth their retail price

We all have different thresholds of what we are willing to pay so totally fair. Hope you enjoyed this video 🙏
