Swimming with your patek

Hi,

Just bought my first patek ( after lots of rolexes).

I used to do anything with my rolexes ( 24/7, running, swimming etc).

My new/old 3710 on my hand most of the time, but what about shower and swimming?

I did checked it and it is water proofed....

The 3710 has 120m water resistance, should not be problem to swim with it. The real concern is that you may get your nautilus scratched if you are not careful.

Patek is not a Rolex and vice versa.

I do everything with my PP as my Rolex. I am not a diver though.

Well, it is WR to 60m right? It's called the Nautilus for a reason! I wasn't too worried about it since I was pretty delicate with it. Mainly using my belly as a floatation device and drifting around the pool
