In 1997, Patek Philippe introduced the Aquanaut, a contemporary classic adored for its unique design and adaptability. Drawing inspiration from the Nautilus, this watch featured a robust “tropical” strap designed to withstand wear, saltwater, and UV radiation. Patek Philippe has explored various iterations of this model, incorporating different complications and offering both male and female versions, showcasing its versatility. The case of the current model is crafted from stainless steel, impeccably maintained, and boasts the iconic embossed dial with applied white-gold numerals and luminous indexes. Breaking new ground in the sporty and modern Aquanaut collection, the Reference 5968 introduces the first chronograph—a fitting complication for this youthful and dynamic timepiece line. Driven by a self-winding flyback chronograph movement (Caliber CH 28–520 C), the Reference 5968 captivates with its striking aesthetic. The orange chronograph displays boldly contrast with the black dial, creating a visually compelling timepiece. The self-winding mechanical movement features a fly back chronograph, central chronograph hand, 60-minute counter, and a date aperture. The steel case is equipped with a screw-down crown and a sapphire crystal case back. The Aquanaut fold-over clasp, made of composite material in vibrant orange, adds a contemporary finishing touch to this chronograph masterpiece.
