Introduced in 1996, Patek Philippe launched the Aquanaut to mark the 20th anniversary of the Nautilus. As the first Patek Philippe wristwatch with a rubber strap, it was aimed at a younger audience. Since its debut, the Aquanaut has become one of the most coveted models in Patek Philippe's lineup.
In 2017, Patek Philippe released the Aquanaut reference 5168G-001 to celebrate the model's 20th anniversary. This edition merges the watch's sporty functionality with luxurious materials and Patek Philippe's impeccable craftsmanship. The result is a sports watch unparalleled in elegance.
The Aquanaut reference 5168G boasts an exquisite 18k white gold case, housing a striking blue dial that subtly transitions from bright blue at the center to a deeper navy-black at the edges. The dial features the signature horizontal embossing characteristic of the Aquanaut line. In terms of design, craftsmanship, and luxury, the reference 5168G excels, offering a timepiece that satisfies every criterion. This present example, dating from 2018, is fresh to the market from the original owner and comes with its full set of accessories.
