Patek PhilippeAquanaut

KEY FACTS

• The Patek Philippe Aquanaut launched in 1997 and was designed to offer a more contemporary design to a younger audience 
• Whilst its design was inspired by Patek Philippe’s iconic Nautilus, the Aquanaut has since become a highly-regarded model in its own right
• The reference 5168G was released in 2017 to celebrate 20 years of the Aquanaut, and with its 42mm case, is the largest watch in the Aquanaut family
• The 5168G was also the first Aquanaut to have a case crafted entirely from 18K white gold, which is paired with a gradient blue dial and a matching composite rubber strap
• A sapphire crystal caseback displays the hand-finished calibre 324 S C; an automatic movement with a 45-hour power reserve
