Now firmly established among Patek Philippe’s most coveted models, the Aquanaut was initially met with skepticism upon its debut. Introduced in the 1990s as the brand’s first stainless steel sports watch in two decades, it was designed to appeal to a younger generation and was often regarded as the “junior” counterpart to the Nautilus. Over time, however, the Aquanaut has earned its own devoted following and a place within Patek Philippe’s modern icons.
The present example is a lady’s version of the model, offering elegant proportions and everyday versatility, making it an ideal contemporary sports watch for women.
