Collection: Aquanaut

Being modern, sporty, and chic, when launched in 1997, the Aquanaut created a sensation. It was young, modern, and unexpected. The Aquanaut’s design is best described as “less is more.” It boasts a minimalist, no-frills design that makes it perfect to wear every day. The Aquanaut’s case is a rounded octagon and is inspired by the Nautilus. It sports a “Tropical” strap, made of a new composite material that’s ultra-resistant to wear and doesn’t even get affected by UV radiation.

Among the many unique features of this watch is its strap. When the model debuted by pairing a polymer strap with a luxury watch, it was considered a bold move. It paid off, though, and helped Aquanaut become a staple model for the Patek Philippe brand.

We would also like to tell you that you can easily get wet and wild with the Patek Philippe Aquanaut, as any watch with “Aqua” in its name should be ready to take the plunge. And these timepieces deliver just that with 120m/400ft water resistance on call when needed.

The best in class Patek Philippe natural rubber strap features generous inner relief channels that prevent sweat, heat & grit from becoming trapped when you’re trapped in the daily hustle and bustle of life. And when the going gets tough, the timing stability is ensured with free-slung Patek Philippe Gyromax balance. This watch also features the newer Patek Philippe seal. Apart from that, the standard of finish gives the old Geneva Hallmark a run for its money. It’s appealing to the eye, and it doesn’t take much to inspire awe with this watch. Lastly, this movement holds up when subjected to ruthless scrutiny. So, get your hands on one, in the first instance only from your favorite luxury watch retailer Luxury Time NYC.
