Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5066A

Details

Initially released in 1997, the Aquanaut is arguably a reinterpretation of Patek Philippe's vastly successful Nautilus, but for a younger audience. Instead of the subtle horizontal pattern on the Nautilus, the Aquanaut introduced a striking 'grenade pattern' dial. The stainless steel integrated bracelet was also replaced by a similarly patterned rubber strap.

The ref. 5066A is an evolution of the original Aquanaut, and replaces the solid metal caseback of the 5060A with a display back, showing off the high-end movement finishing that Patek Philippe well known for.

This Patek Philippe is in good condition, with some scratches and marks appropriate for its age on the bezel, case and deployant buckle. Note that there are some marks on the oscillating weight inside the movement, which are clearly pictured.

The watch comes with a full-length khaki rubber strap and the original Patek Philippe deployant.

PATEK PHILIPPE

To many, Patek Philippe is the epitome of the high-end watchmaker. Throughout its nearly two centuries' of existence, it has weathered everything from the World Wars to the Quartz Crisis of the 1980s. Even today, it's widely acknowledged to be amongst the most successful and prestigious watchmakers, with its creations gracing wrists of everyone from bankers and politicians to rappers and actors.
