"EXPERIENCE NOTES" For the 20th anniversary of the "Aquanaut," P.P. is preparing a series of surprises. For those with a passion for knowledge, we list: The most important is undoubtedly the ref. 5650G "Advanced Research" white gold travel time, limited to 500 pieces worldwide. Over 500 hours of design went into this spectacular quad-spring with a crossing point of just 150 microns. The second surprise is the Ref. 5168G "Jumbo," with a 42.2 mm case and, for the FIRST time, in WHITE GOLD (our watch), with a blue dial. Despite the 2018 release of the ref. 5968A chronograph with its unforgettable orange "tropical" strap, the TRUE colored Aquanaut remains the ref. 5168G Jumbo Khaki Green. The color was chosen in remembrance of a very limited "CLIENT ONLY" edition from 2011, which featured an Aquanaut in Khaki Green. Introduced in 2019, the ref. 5168G Khaki Green literally exploded in a market already thirsty for steel models. Just the "tropical" strap in special colors, such as red and green, made exclusively for the Asian market, can reach prices of 4,000-5,000 euros. In conclusion, we could say that the Aquanaut, even though it was born in the shadow of the Nautilus, has managed to carve out its own slice of LOYAL FANS.
