Patek PhilippeAquanaut

KEY FACTS

• The Patek Philippe Aquanaut was launched in 1997, and was the brand’s first watch to be fitted with a sports-orientated rubber strap
• Inspired by the Nautilus and aimed at a younger demographic, the Aquanaut has since become a revered model line in its own right and is highly sought-after by collectors 
• This late 2022, UK supplied example has an expertly finished 40.8mm steel case with a blend of brushed and polished surfaces showcasing Patek Philippe’s much-vaunted attention to detail
• Due to its impressive thinness it can easily slide under any shirt cuff, and with its screw-down crown, black rubber ‘Tropical’ strap, and 120m water-resistant case, the watch offers plenty of versatility 
• The lack dial has a unique geosphere pattern with applied Arabic numeral hour makers coated in Super-LumiNova
• Internally, this luxurious sports watch is powered by the Patek Philippe’s calibre 26-330, which is visible through the sapphire caseback
• This automatic movement has a 45-hour power reserve and its 21K yellow gold centre rotor is stamped with the Patek Philippe Calatrava 
• Offered by a private collector in the United Kingdom 
• Presented with its Patek Philippe-branded display box, protective fabric sleeve, outer packaging, certificate of origin, booklets, Patek Philippe-branded leather document folder, swing tag and original purchase receipt
