PATEK PHILIPPE AQUANAUT LUCE TRAVEL TIME 5269/200R-001

Discover the Patek Philippe Aquanaut - Patek Philippe's most versatile watch

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut is part of a timepiece excellence brought to the forefront of replica watches for men collections by the gifted watchmaker Gérald Genta. However, the Aquanaut frees itself in ways that traditional Nautilus-branded Patek Philippe timepieces would never attempt. The Aquanaut is as sporty as his big brother, but with a more aggressive style, color palette and rubber strap that doubles the palette expressed on the dial.

Aquanaut was unaffected by the fact that the quartz crisis of the 1970s required watchmakers to redefine timepieces as luxury goods. The Nautilus does this with elegance and style. However, the Aquanaut was designed in the 1990s, when timepiece collections were in full swing. Patek Philippe had to come up with something fresh and perhaps appealing to a younger audience.

The result is apparently a fork of Nautilus, but with significant design changes. The case itself becomes a more rounded porthole design. The embossed dial is shaped like a military grenade that looks like it's about to explode. Unencumbered by the Cyclops lens, the date window peeks out from the dial at 3 o'clock without fanfare. The date is a feature, but is content to sit in the background as it almost blends in with the mighty tritium-luminescent hour markers and large hour and minute hands.

Probably the biggest feature that Patek Philippe Discount replica watches ebuted in the Aquanaut is the new Tropical strap, made from a composite material that is ultra-resistant to general wear and tear, as well as the elements like salt water and UV radiation. The strap matches the color of the dial almost exactly and features a grenade-inspired embossed pattern across the strap. In the example above, we can see the distinctive blue strap that extends the blue dial color pattern around the wrist.

Patek Philippe Aquanaut – Color Variety As you can see in the image above, the Patek Philippe Aquanaut can feature a wide variety of colors in its palette. The blue, white, and green version is a marked departure from the Nautilus, which is still considered a sporty timepiece. The Aquanaut comes in a chocolate brown strap and matching brown dial option, as well as a feminine 'pearl beige' model with a lilac hue. They also have a model with a metal steel strap. In the past, it even offered a bright orange watch, but it's no longer available.

Patek Philippe has made the Aquanaut more casual mainly thanks to a comfortable strap with a patented folding clasp. However, cases play an important role. Most Aquanaut products are available in stainless steel or matching white gold. They also offer a rose gold option, but currently do not have gold timepieces, although gold Aquanauts fashion replica watches have been made for the past 20+ years.

Patek Philippe Aquanaut History The original inspiration for the Aquanaut came when a wealthy and influential collector asked Patek Philippe for a more "robust" timepiece. He wanted to give these timepieces as gifts to senior military officers. Patek Philippe decided that the existing Nautilus would not meet the needs of this client, so they set out to design a completely new product.

In 1997, the Aquanaut was launched to a hungry clientele obsessed with sports watch collections. It's unclear if the "powerful collector" was happy with the results of the newly redesigned Aquanaut, but the public was apparently, and it became a real hit when the Dot Com Boom was at its height.

In 2007, Aquanaut Best replica watches underwent some minor changes. The hour scale at 3 o'clock has been removed to allow more space for the date aperture. Also, there are fewer grenade-shaped grooves on the dial, so it looks more subtle.

In 2011, Patek Philippe began adding advanced complications to the Aquanaut. The first to be released was Aquanaut Travel Time. It includes a skeletonized hand that offers the viewer a second time zone.

In 2021, 5968G is launched as a flyback chronograph. It has push buttons at the standard 2 and 4 o'clock positions, and even has a nice visible case back, powered by a self-winding CH 28‑520 C movement.
