Specialist note

This reference 5060 was produced in an early limited edition of this reference. It features a solid stainless steel case back rather than the more common sapphire case back. This model also features the stainless steel "butterfly" deployant buckle that is stamped Nautilus on the inside, not Aquanaut. It is believed that only 1000 examples were made in this first batch of reference 5060 Aquanauts with the solid case backs.
