Launched in 1997, the Aquanaut was Patek's younger answer to its own Nautilus, same integrated-bracelet-sports-watch DNA on a moulded composite strap at a lower buy-in. It has since inverted that positioning entirely: what was meant as the accessible Patek is now one of the hardest to actually buy at list.

This Patek Philippe Aquanaut Jumbo wears a 42.2mm white gold case with a khaki green waffle-pattern dial. Calibre 324 S C inside, on the integrated khaki green composite strap.

Fun fact: this wasn't Patek's first green Aquanaut, just its first widely available one. A handful of steel 5167A models with green dials surfaced around 2010, with fewer than ten examples believed to exist, before this white gold 5168G-010 gave collectors a realistic shot at one.

The collection

Aquanaut

Patek's 1997 sports watch, softer edged than the Nautilus and made for a strap

The Aquanaut made its debut in 1997 as the more casual companion to the Nautilus, keeping the rounded octagonal bezel but dropping the ears and usually sitting on a strap rather than a bracelet. The dial carries an embossed checkerboard pattern that runs on into the composite strap, which Patek describes as resistant to wear, salt water and UV radiation. Cases are steel, white gold or rose gold, worked in contrasting polished and satin finishes, with applied numerals and luminescent coating on most dials. Aquanaut Luce arrived in 2004 as the smaller, diamond set half of the family, and the complications now include travel time, a flyback chronograph, an annual calendar with moon phases and a minute repeater.

Sizes in the family

35.6mm to 42.2mm, with the main automatic references around 40mm

Who it suits
