Consigned by a private collector, the present wristwatch is preserved in excellent and unpolished overall condition. To the best of our knowledge it has never been offered in public before.
Launched in 1997, the Aquanaut was Patek Philippe first wristwatch fitted with a composite, called "tropical" strap. Water-resistant to 120 m. like the Nautilus, its main characteristics are the cushion-shaped case, the textured dial matching the "tropical" strap and the octagonal bezel. The model was available in three size, with quartz or self-winding mechanical movement.
A very coveted model, the Aquanaut in gold with composite "tropical" strap or gold Aquanaut bracelet remained in production until 2003, the stainless steel version until around 2006.
