The Patek Philippe Aquanaut is a relatively new addition to the brand's lineup of luxury watches, having been introduced in 1997. The Aquanaut was created as a more modern and sporty alternative to the brand's classic dress watches, while still embodying the same level of luxury and technical expertise. The Aquanaut was inspired by the brand's iconic Nautilus model, which was designed by legendary watchmaker Gerald Genta in the 1970s. The Aquanaut features a similar porthole-inspired case shape, but with a more streamlined and contemporary design.
The 5168G-001 presented here features a 42mm white gold case, making it larger than the standard Aquanaut models, and is water-resistant up to 120 meters, making it suitable for swimming and other water activities. The blue dial features a unique embossed pattern, with large Arabic numerals in white gold and luminescent hour markers for optimal visibility. The watch is powered by the dependable Calibre 324SC capable of 45 hours of power reserve. The model is completed with a blue rubber bracelet, complementing the dial and making the watch not only look extremely fresh but also feel comfortable and secure. Throughout its history, the Aquanaut has remained true to Patek Philippe's commitment to excellence and technical innovation and has become an iconic model of the brand, appreciated for its unique design, exceptional quality, and versatility.
