History

The perfect dress sports watch

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut, launched in 1997, is a model of casual elegance that combines technical perfection with uncompromising performance and imaginative creativity in design.

Its fascinating appeal originates from a surprisingly modern form with a gently rounded octagonal shape. The surface structure of the superbly finished landmark dial reflects the attractive texture of the strap.
