Which Aquanaut references are available?
The Aquanaut runs from a time-only steel model to gold and complicated references. These are the core references; others can be sourced on request.
| Reference | Case | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| 5167A | 40mm steel | Time and date, black grid dial, composite strap. |
| 5168G | 42.2mm white gold | Time and date in the larger case, known as the "Jumbo" Aquanaut. |
| 5164A | 40.8mm steel | Travel Time, showing home and local time on one dial. |
| 5968A | 42.2mm steel | Flyback chronograph. |
| 5267/200A | 38.8mm steel | Aquanaut Luce, the ladies' model, with a diamond-set bezel. |
How is the Aquanaut different from the Nautilus?
The Aquanaut has a rounded octagonal case, a dial embossed in a grid pattern and the Tropical composite strap Patek Philippe developed for it, where the Nautilus sits on an integrated steel bracelet. Patek introduced the Aquanaut in 1997 as a younger, more casual sports watch. It wears lighter and suits daily use in warm weather. For the bracelet model, see the Patek Philippe Nautilus collection.
Can an Aquanaut be bought without a waiting list?
Yes, through an independent dealer. Patek Philippe allocates the steel Aquanaut at retail much as it does the Nautilus, so the practical route for most buyers is the open market. Hollywood Gems quotes from stock where it can and sources the rest. Sourcing may require a deposit, explained on the call.
Strap or bracelet?
Most Aquanaut references leave Patek Philippe on the composite strap, and some steel references were also offered on a matching bracelet. Say which you want in the enquiry and Hollywood Gems will confirm what a specific piece comes with.
