Specialist note
A very coveted timepiece, the Aquanaut reference 5065 was launched in 1997 and produced until 2006. With an attractive “Tropical” strap, the wristwatch was Patek Philippe’s first reference with a strap made of high-tech composite. With a pattern matching the dial, the wristwatch quickly captivated collectors of the manufacture through its elegant design and became one of the firm’s most popular models.
An example of the reference 5065 is illustrated in Patek Philippe Steel Watches by John Goldberger, 2010 edition, pp. 414-415.
