Why We Love it
–The Aquanaut may be one of the most important modern luxury sport watches on the market.
The Reference 5060J, launched in 1996 for the 20th anniversary of the Nautilus, was a kind of transitional watch. Borrowing features from the Nautilus but doing away with the famed case “ears” of that porthole-inspired model and adding lugs, it provided the basis for the Reference 5060A in 1997, the first model to bear the Aquanaut name. This model would go on to form the basis of a full collection of luxury sports watches that provided the entry point into the Patek Philippe catalog.
This particular Aquanaut, a Reference 5065A-001, dates back to 2005 and features a 38mm stainless steel case, sapphire crystal, a lovely anthracite textured hobnail dial with printed indices and a matching handset, and Patek's Calibre 315 SC automatic movement with date function. It comes outfitted to a correct black textured rubber strap with a signed stainless steel deployant clasp.
This piece also includes its books, serialized hangtag, and Certificate of Origin dated to 2005.
If a luxury sports watch is what you’re after, stop right here — this version of the Aquanaut is one of the best!
Brand Story

Brand Story
+Founded in 1839, Patek Philippe is one of the oldest watch manufacturers in the world with an uninterrupted watchmaking history. Few luxury brands in the world carry the gravitas of their name, and for good reason. The firm's commitment to excellence in horological manufacture is unflinching, and their track record of innovation in design without peer. They continue to lead the industry, and even their fiercest competitors have nothing but the utmost respect for the company.
Owning a Patek Philippe is for many the ultimate goal of timepiece collecting, and for a certain type, the only timepieces they collect. Whichever way you look at it, there is no questioning the elegance of design, superlative manufacture of their cases and movements, or the sheer elegance and emotion that comes from owning one.
Of course for a brand that is steeped in heritage, we are told ‘You never actually own a Patek Philippe…”
Well, you know the rest.
