To mark the 20th anniversary of the successful Aquanaut sports watch collection, Patek Philippe uses a number of innovations in this new work. The new Ref. 5168G is the first Aquanaut men’s watch in 18k white gold. Its slightly warm color scheme sets it apart from the many stainless steel timepieces. Of course, like the other Aquanaut watches (and the Nautilus watch), the Ref. 5168G retains the rounded octagonal bezel and the flat satin-trimmed section and the chamfered polished case sides.
In addition, the 42mm case diameter makes it the largest of the Aquanaut collection, and the shape was chosen to pay tribute to the original 1976 Nautilus wristwatch, which is still the same 42mm in diameter Fan affectionately called “Jumbo.” Dial and strap colors, night blue, the same is the first time. The dial also shows a light and dark gradient from the inside out, just like the Aquanaut Ref. 5164 traveler’s luxury replica watches for sale in rose gold, which goes back to the Nautilus dial design.

Above the dial were suspended rod-shaped fluorescent hour and minute hands and a white lacquered Parfil bronze second hand with a counterweight. The sapphire crystal reveals the precision parts and elegance of the self-winding mechanical movement, as if ballet dancing in time.
Mechanical beauty: Caliber 324SC movement
The 18K white gold case, paired with the Caliber 324 S C self-winding movement, combines all iconic symbols of Haute Horlogerie tradition with high-tech innovations that appeal to anyone who loves classic mechanical timepieces. Thickness of only 3.3 mm, the movement even with seals and gaskets are still slim, so that the overall thickness of the watch can be maintained at 8.25 mm. With a full weight 21K gold central automatic plate, this movement can capture energy from every minute movement of the wrist and stored as a movement power to ensure that the daily travel time error does not exceed -3 to +2 seconds, in full compliance with Patek Philippe Fake Imprint of the standard. Through the sapphire crystal through the cover can also appreciate the movement of the beautiful decoration, it is fascinating. Bridge deck is completely parallel to the Geneva streaks, gemstones bearing hole with a tapered bore hole, and even the screws have polished round edges and notches.

1997 – 2017: 20th Anniversary of Aquanaut
At the 1997 Basel International Watch and Jewelery Show, Patek Philippe introduced the new Aquanaut Ref. 5060A, a very sporty, modern men’s watch in stainless steel designed to appeal to a younger generation who love the sport. At that time, Nautilus series introduced in 1976 has long been a symbol of casual and elegant stainless steel watch. However, thanks to its extremely sophisticated two-piece porthole structure, the Nautilus is outgrown by the younger generation of customers, and Filly Sten, the president of Patek Philippe, places a premium on those sports-loving customers. Therefore, Patek Philippe choose a more simple three-piece structure of the case, including the back of the case, case and bezel side. Although this means that the left or right sealing hinges have been removed, the technological advances made since 1976 have guaranteed water resistance up to 120 meters with the same case size. With a sleek octagonal bezel, a flat satin-finished section, and chamfered polished edges, the Aquanaut collection expresses its highest respect to the Nautilus collection. However, due to the extremely high processing and finishing difficulties of the stainless steel bracelet, the Aquanaut range is complemented by innovative composite straps that are easier to machine. This approach gained widespread customer acceptance, and Aquanaut soon became one of Patek Philippe’s best-selling men’s watches. Aquanaut Luce, also launched in 2004, also won the hearts of ladies, with sparkling bezel set with flawless top Wesselton diamonds, as well as colorful dials and straps each year. In 2007, on the tenth anniversary of the Aquanaut series, it was completely redesigned to retain all the features of the original and to prepare it for another decade. The new Aquanaut Ref. 5168G “Jumbo” 18K white gold best replica watches review is the best proof, it dripping to show the Aquanaut series has always been the casual elegance of two decades.
