Notes: After the introduction of the firm’s first stainless steel luxury sports watch in the mid 1970’s, Patek Philippe introduced a new line of sports watches, the Aquanaut. Introduced in 1997, the ref. 5060 was the firm’s first model of its now highly desired line of luxury sports watches. Encased in a stainless steel case with much resemblance to the Nautilus, the Aquanaut featured a much simpler case construction and slightly smaller. Targeting a much younger audience, Patek Philippe removed the integrated bracelet and replaced it with a rubber strap. Furthermore, a screw down caseback was implemented to ensure a waterproof capability of up to 120 meters.
The present example is indeed the very first Aquanaut ref. 5060 in stainless steel with a case diameter measuring 35.6mm. Confirmed by the Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives of the date of manufacture in 1997, the present example is indeed one of the very first.
Furthermore, it is presented in excellent overall condition and accompanied with the extract of archives from the original owner.
