“The changeable orange and black straps make the 5968A perfect on the beach or in the boardroom. The orange hints were a curveball from Patek, but an instant hit.” Nick Baranga, Founder

With its unmistakable Gérald Genta lineage, the Aquanaut is Patek’s bridge between past and future, and the youthful, dynamic line’s first chronograph, the 5968A, retains the famous proportions, lines and styling, with a delicately satin-finished bezel and mix of polishing and brushing, but with forward-thinking updates and changes. The watch features the new 42.2mm “Jumbo” case, transforming this sporty model into something special, with immense presence on the wrist. The Aquanaut is Patek's playground when it comes to exploring colour, and the 5968A represents a defining reference in the line’s history. Patek Philippe themselves refer to a “remarkable aesthetic appeal,” with the striking contrast of an orange chronograph hand and displays, set against the stunning black embossed dial and gold applied numerals with luminescent coating. The sumptuously decorative CH 28-520 C/528 movement is visible through the sapphire display caseback, and the Aquanaut fold-over clasp is engineered for perfect stability. The black and uncut orange straps, crafted from an ultra-resistant composite material, make this a highly versatile piece. Both subtle and stunning.
