The Reference 4960J, launched in 1999, was a sort 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 was built upon the 5060’s introduction in 1996. The Aquanaut 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. Today, they are some of the most popular sports watches in the world. Each iteration has its own quirks and idiosyncrasies to fall in love with. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis particular Aquanaut, the Reference \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e4960\/1A-001, dates to circa the 2000s and features a 30mm stainless steel case, a sapphire crystal, a lovely anthracite textured hobnail dial with applique Arabic indices and a matching handset, a signed crown, and beautifully quartz movement within.
