Catalogue Essay
Launched in 1997, the Aquanaut presented a newer and more casual alternative to the Nautilus. While the Aquanaut was originally made as a limited series, the model was put into regular production with the release of the reference 5065A. At the time of launch, it was the first Patek Philippe wristwatch to be fitted with a rubber strap.
Nicknamed the ‘Jumbo’ because of its large 37mm case diameter, reference 5065 revealed the once-concealed self-winding calibre 315 SC through a sapphire display caseback.
The present early reference 5065/1A-001 is unlike any of the future models. It is the only variant of the reference ever sold as a package that included both the rubber composite strap and steel bracelet, an option much loved.
Most impressively, it is offered as a full set with its Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated February 27, 2005, additional rubber strap, product literature, leather wallet, slip case, presentation box and outer packaging.
