The Aquanaut was first launched in 1997 with the vision of being "young, modern, and unexpected." Drawing inspiration from the sporty yet refined style of the Nautilus, the Aquanaut became Patek Philippe's first watch to feature a rubber strap, adding a level of comfort that makes it an ideal everyday companion.
In 1998, the Ref:5065A was introduced, a model that many watch collectors associate with the first generation of Aquanauts. It also represents a shift from traditional production methods and materials to a more contemporary approach.
Please note that the size of this lot should read 38.8mm and is accompanied by a service receipt dated March 2024.
