Catalogue Essay
- In light of the soaring popularity in luxury sports watches, the Aquanaut was introduced in 1997 as a younger sibling to the Nautilus. This striking and refreshing take on Patek Philippe ’s first and only other sports watch in its entire collection enjoyed instant recognition, especially among young collectors, for it is the first model to be fitted with a “tropical” rubber strap. Initially released as a limited edition of only 1000 pieces, the Aquanaut gained its permanent position in the firm’s catalogue with the official launch of the ref. 5065/1A-010 the following year.
- The ref. 5064A was part of the second generation Aquanauts, released in 1998. Boasting a timeless black embossed dial with centre seconds and a date window at 3 o’clock, the watch is house in a modest 34mm stainless steel case that conceals its reliable in-house quartz movement, the cal. E23 SC.
-Boasting its iconic gridded pattern, the language seamlessly blends aesthetic and comfort into one with its tropical rubber strap that remains uncut from the present example.
- Good design transcend eras, and that is precisely the Patek Philippe’s Aquanaut collection. For collectors who admires the timelessness of the Aquanaut, this stainless steel variant preserved in excellent condition from circa 2003 retains its Certificate of Origin and presentation box.
