Catalogue Essay
The Aquanaut Flyback Chronograph was released first in 2018 in stainless steel, and then in 2021 in 18K white gold. The present example is the most recent iteration, cased in 18K pink gold and fitted with a luxurious sunburst brown dial, still in current production yet a challenge to obtain from any retailer.

With a 42mm diameter case, the addition of two chronograph pushers does not compromise the wearability of the case, ensuring it remains compact and comfortable on the wrist. The watch strikes a harmonious balance between sportiness and sophistication, housing the renowned in-house calibre CH 28-520. This movement, featuring a flyback function, showcases Patek's traditional craftsmanship, including Gyromax and Spiromax technologies, as well as the prestigious Patek Philippe seal.

Complete with all its original accessories, this 5968R-001 from 2023 poses an excellent opportunity for the modern collector.
