Patek Philippe Aquanaut

Patek Philippe Aquanaut in brief

The Aquanaut was introduced in 1997 as a model reinterpreting the Nautilus's rounded octagonal case in a younger, more relaxed line. The aim was to offer a Patek Philippe that could be worn in daily life and on holiday too.

The grid pattern on the dial is repeated on the strap. The tropical composite strap is durable and comfortable against water and heat, and gives the model a look of its own. The family also includes Travel Time versions that show a second time zone, and chronograph versions.
