When the Aquanaut was originally launched in 1997, it was intended to cater to the younger, more sporty generation. The 5060A was the first iteration of the Aquanaut line. Since then, the models have grown in size and function all while staying true to the original case design.
Launched in 2011, the Aquanaut Travel Time was the first step by Patek Philippe to add complication to the Aquanaut line. With two pushers on the left side of the case allowing the wearer to easily adjust the second time zone, the watch embodies practicality and beauty at the same time.
Since its inception, it remains to be one of the most sought after models within the horological community. This Travel Time certainly captures all of what Patek Philippe was trying to achieve when the Aquanaut was originally released over 25 years ago.
