The Evolution of the Aquanaut Series
Patek Philippe’s Aquanaut collection has evolved significantly since its debut in 1997 with Ref. 5060. The Aquanaut 5168G, introduced at Baselworld 2019, stands out with its 42.2mm case in 18K white gold and a unique khaki green dial. This “Jumbo” variant showcases Patek Philippe’s innovation in luxury sports watches.
Design and Aesthetics
The most striking feature of the Aquanaut 5168G is its khaki green color. This matte finish, an unusual choice for Patek Philippe, adds a layer of versatility and refined elegance. The watch’s octagonal bezel and porthole-inspired case are testaments to its intricate design philosophy.
