Patek Philippe Aquanaut

A combination of sportiness and sophistication: The Patek Philippe Aquanaut was launched in 1997 and is characterised by its sleekly curved octagonal shape and the complex construction of its case. The unique shape of the watch is reminiscent of the popular Nautilus – both of which gained admiration from lovers of sports watches. Whether roaming the countryside or diving in the ocean: the Patek Philippe Aquanaut suits any situation and provides outstanding style around the clock.

A characteristic feature of the Aquanaut is the attractive “Tropical” strap that is composed of a high-tech composite material. The bracelet is not only comfortable around the wrist, but also suprasses all expectations with its sturdy and robust composition. Furthermore, it is hypoallergenic and resistant to salt water and UV rays. The universal Aquanaut is waterproof up to a depth of 200 meters and can, therefore, be worn with ease while swimming or diving. Alternatively, the timepiece can also be paired with a stainless steel strap, as can be witnessed with the Ref. 5167/1A-001.

Additional distinctive features of the Aquanaut include relatively large indices and distinctive numbers that enhance the dial and overall legibility of the watch. Furthermore, a black embossed design adorns the dial of the timepiece. The classic Aquanaut that is void of complications (Ref. 5167) is powered by the SC 324 automatic movement, which also operates in the Nautilus (Ref. 5711). Mechanical finesse and unique design are artfully united in the Patek Philippe Aquanaut.

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut is created for both men and women alike and is accordingly provided in a luxurious assortment of sizes, colours, and materials. The men’s watches are available in case sizes that measure 38-milimeters (e.g. Ref. 5065A) or 40-milimeters (e.g. Ref. 5167A-001) while the ladies’ watches impress with a case that measure 35.6-milimeters (e.g. Ref. 5068R-0109).

In 2005, Patek Philippe launched the Aquanaut Luce line for women and brought a refreshing splash of colour into their collection.The Aquanaut Luce comprises a distinct style that is the perfect pairing for a casual environment. The watch adorns wrists in Pure White (Ref. 5072G-001), Mysterious Black (Ref. 5067A-001), Ocean Blue (Ref. 5072G-001) or Chocolate Brown (Ref. 5067A-023).

The bezels of the watches are brilliantly set with approximately 2.76K of baguette diamonds, further underlining the luxurious ambiance of Patek Philippe timepieces. The “Tropical” composite bracelet along with the waterproof capabilities of the watch up to 120 meters make for the perfect combination and permit a day well spent exploring the oceans or enjoying the beach. Additionally, the sapphire-crystal case back allows for the viewing pleasure of the mechanical calibre 324 S C.

The Aquanaut Travel Time (Ref. 5164A) is a model that also belongs to the Patek Philippe Aquanaut collection. The great advantage of this timepiece is the dual time zone mechanism. This timepiece is extremely convenient for frequent flyers as the can easily refer the local time as well as home time with one simple glance at the wrist. It comes as no surprise then that the Aquanaut Travel Time was awarded as the best travel watch in 2011.

The case back of the watch is comprised of a sapphire crystal and, therefore, allows for insight into the technology that powers the watch – the self-winding Calibre 324 SC FUS movement. The diameter of the robust stainless steel case measures 40.8-milimeters and is one of the largest among the Aquanaut series. Furthermore, the watch also comes equipped with the contemporary Aquanaut “Tropical” composite bracelet.

Celebrities are big fans of Patek Philippe themselves. An enthusiastic supporter of the Aquanaut (Ref. 5167A) is the music legend Paul McCartney who did not only sport the timepiece on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, but wore the luxurious watch on his wedding day. Another distinctive individual who has also fallen under the Aquanaut spell is Beatles drummer Ringo Starr. He has been spotted wearing his Aquanaut countless times during public appearances. The Aquanaut (Ref. 5066A) also adorns the wrist of billionaire George Soros on the cover of his biography.
