Catalogue Essay
- Officially announced at Baselworld in 2018, the Patek Philippe reference 5968A was the first Aquanaut model to be fitted with a chronograph function. Featuring a striking orange colourful dial and tropical rubber strap, the timepiece is certain to appeal to a younger demographic interested in contemporary and sporty chronographs.
- Cased at 42mm in diameter, even with the addition of the two chronograph pushers, the case remains intact and compact. Sporty yet well balanced inside the watch beats the well-known in-house calibre CH 28-520. Further featuring a flyback function, the movement displays all the classical Patek’s delicacies, such as the Gyromax and Spiromax technologies, as well as the Patek Philippe Seal.
- The present timepiece, in almost barely worn condition from 2020, the present timepiece comes with its original Patek Philippe fitted presentation box, outer packaging, additional strap, service box and certificate of origin.
