Patek PhilippeAquanaut Chronograph

KEY FACTS

• Patek Philippe launched the Aquanaut back in 1997, and whilst its design was inspired by the Nautilus, it has since-become a legend in its own right
• This latest-gen reference 5968A taps into the Aquanaut’s go-anywhere do-anything personality by incorporating a chronograph into its construction
• The chronograph sub-dial is positioned at six o’clock and has a flyback function
• The watch’s 42mm case is crafted from brushed and polished stainless steel, and comes paired with a vibrant orange rubber strap (a black strap is also included to offer a more restrained aesthetic) 
• A screw-down crown provides this highly-versatile watch with a water resistance of 120 metres
• Beneath the transparent caseback beats Patek Philippe’s calibre CH 28-520 C, an automatic movement with a 55-hour power reserve
• Calibre CH 28-520 C is elaborately decorated, finished with a solid gold winding rotor, and stamped with the Patek Philippe seal
