So as the titles says, I bought a Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167A, that has a market value of around 65k. It's basically a diver's watch by the greatest brand in the industry. Luckily I only paid retail, which was 20'500 Swiss Francs which is around $22k, but market value is triple retail, the whole industry is a little bananas at the moment (clearly). This particular watch and a few other classic by some other big names in the industry have a considerably higher demand than supply, so market value tends to trade higher than retail for those.

So I know I was super fortunate to have the money and be able to buy it, yada yada. But as a hardcore watch lover, this Aquanaut is quite a milestone. The fit and feel is amazing, rubber strap and watch head have a seamless transition that makes it super comfy to wear. Case is just over 0.3 inches so ultra thin. Movement is automatic, with a display case back (see pics). The overall finishing on the case, bezel, clasp, movement is second to none. Really happy with it!
