For many collectors, the theory is that the 5060/S reference marks a test in Patek link redesigning the Nautilus, the results of which would become the Aquanaut.
It comes directly from Gaston's family, says Benoît Colson, a Paris-based International Specialist for link Sotheby's who link worked with the descendants.
