The introduction of the Aquanaut shifted the overall perception of the company from extremely high-end and targeted to “old school” collectors, to a more contemporary, all-round brand, which is of course focused on unparalleled watchmaking, but which also has more casual proposals.
Introduced at Baselworld 2018, Patek Philippe released their first ever Aquanaut model featuring a flyback chronograph complication equipped with a date. While the case and elements of the timepiece is distinctively familiar, it is perhaps the play of colours for the specific reference that has generated a tremendously positive reception for the reference and hence propelling it to one of the hottest models in the Patek Philippe line up today. Featuring a sunburst gunmetal grey dial with vibrant orange accents matched with a bright orange chronographic hand, the appeal is certainly young and energetic, perfect for any sporty occasions.
The present example Patek Philippe Aquanaut ref. 5968A-001 from circa 2021 is offered in excellent overall condition with very minimal signs of use and wear. Complete with its full set of accessories, it is currently fitted on an uncut Patek Philippe rubber strap and an additional black rubber strap. Previously unknown, this fresh-to-the-market timepiece is the 10th example to appear at auction.
Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.
Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
