The striking Reference 5168G was released in 2017 on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Aquanaut collection. The watch has ample wrist presence, fitted with a significant white gold case measuring 42.2 mm, and dressed with a brilliant blue gradient dial. For many years, the Aquanaut was often considered junior to the popular Nautilus model. This larger white gold case offers a departure from the firm's more diminutive steel models and allows the Aquanaut to stand in its own right as a highly demanded, popular sport watch amongst collectors today.

We are pleased to offer the present lot, a model seldom seen at auction, complete with a full suite of accessories by the original owner.
