Catalogue Essay
In 2017, Patek Philippe debuted the reference 5168G-001 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Aquanaut. An instant success and extremely well-received at its initial launch, it is still today one of the hardest to obtain references at the boutique.
Housed in a hefty white gold case, the diameter was enlarged to 42.2mm and featured an eye-catching gradient blue dial going from electric blue in the center to ultramarine towards the outer edges.
In virtually "like new" condition from the first year of production, the present timepiece is accompanied by its full set of accessories.
