Patek Philippe Aquanaut Ref. 5168G

Patek Philippe celebrates the first 20 years of its Aquanaut with the new Ref. 5168G

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

1997 – 2017 … as time goes by!

I still remember when Philippe Stern, President of Patek Philippe at the time, presented the Aquanaut in Basel in 1997. The Aquanaut Ref. 5060A was a very sporty, chic, and contemporary wristwatch for men in stainless steel designed to appeal to a young generation of active people.  

This year Thierry Stern, President of Patek Philippe, presented the Aquanaut Ref. 5168G in a white gold case to celebrate the first 20 years of the Patek Philippe Aquanaut.
