Launched in 2017 to mark the 20th anniversary of the model, the Aquanaut reference 5168G made a significant impact with its updated 42.2mm case size and its luxurious white gold case. Compared to its predecessors – the 5060 at 35mm, the 5065 at 38mm (also known as "Large"), and the current 5167 at 40mm – this "Jumbo" piece is a watch with some serious presence.

In 2019, the reference 5168 with a khaki green dial made its debut, swiftly attaining a status of unattainability with waitlists extending into multiple years. The matte dial is particularly eye-catching, matching perfectly with the strap. Its charm lies in its understated elegance, and we are pleased to offer this lot complete with its full set of accessories.
