Patek Philippe is a prestigious watch brand and they have created some of the most iconic timepieces including the Nautilus. Patek Philippe Aquanaut was the brand’s take on a sporty watch. Even though the watch first came in 1997, Patek gave us a peek at the Aquanaut with the release of the reference 5060S in 1996. The watch came with a porthole design, a yellow gold case, and a leather strap.
In 1997, Patek Philippe launched the reference 5060A, which is also considered as the first Aquanaut watch. The timepiece established some of the features that have made the Aquanaut popular today. It featured a porthole-style steel case, a checkerboard dial and a ‘Tropical’ rubber strap.
It was also the first instance of a Patek watch featuring a rubber strap. The strap was made from a blend of components and it was advertised to be resistant to saltwater, bacteria and UV rays.
In 2007, Patek Philippe celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Aquanaut by releasing a fresh new look. Some of the most noticeable changes were seen on the dial and the bracelet. On the dial, the deep grooves are replaced by more shallow and curved lines. Also, the Swiss watch manufacturer placed a date indicator on the 3 o’clock hour marker making the watch more functional.
In terms of the bracelet, the Tropical strap switched from the bar lugs to an integrated-style bracelet like the Nautilus. The pattern on the strap also changed to a more curved design in order to match the new dial. Lastly, the clasp was made more resistant with a double mechanism.
Offering a better taste, Patek Philippe also swapped the yellow gold model for a rose gold one. The rose gold variant comes with a brown dial and a brown strap.
The first complication on an Aquanaut was seen in 2011 on reference 5164-A. The Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time comes with a hidden skeletonized hand in addition to the minute and the hour hand. In order to make it easy to read, two windows were added on the dial where one can determine the local and home time with the color change. The date was moved to a sub-dial around the 6 o’clock mark.
From that time on, the Swiss watch manufacturer added dynamic designs and unconventional features to the Aquanaut lineup. It was almost as if the Aquanaut line became the hub for all the experimentation.
