“Aka the big boy 5167A, with more presence than its steel counterpart and seen far less in the wild, the 5168G wears bigger but grips the wrist just as well as the original” Nick Baranga, Founder

The Gérald Genta lineage is unmistakable in the Aquanaut’s porthole design, but this watch has become an icon in its own right. Patek Philippe wanted the line to define the future, and this 20th anniversary edition features forward-thinking updates and changes. The first ever white gold Aquanaut, the watch boasts the new 42.2mm “Jumbo” case. This is a highly masculine look but one which keeps the famous proportions, lines and styling, with a delicately satin-finished bezel and mix of polishing and brushing on the edges and top. The Aquanaut is Patek’s frontier when it comes to exploring colour, and the stunning embossed dial, subtly gradated from black to night blue, allows the watch to change aesthetic depending on angle, making it a versatile piece suitable for summer and business-casual attire. The updated clasp, with the engraved fleur-de-lis and incredibly smooth open-close action, is perfectly compact and comfortable on the wrist. Patek Philippe’s attention to detail and quality remains unparalleled.
