Catalogue Essay
Launched in 1997, the Aquanaut Was Presented as a Little Brother to the Nautilus – the Brand’s First and Only Other Sports Watch in Its Catalogue. A Disruptive Force, the Aquanaut Was the First Model in Patek Philippe’s Collection to Come Fitted on a Rubber Strap, One of Several Novel Features the Company Hoped Would Attract a New and Younger Consumer Base.
Initially Limited to 1,000 Pieces, in Gold and Stainless Steel, the Aquanaut Was Put Into Regular Production With the Official Release of the Reference 5065, and It Then Enjoyed a Relatively Long an Uneventful Production Cycle, With Few Reference Updates Made Since the Original Model Came Out in 1997. But During That Time, It Has Undoubtedly Become One of the Hottest Patek Philippe Wristwatch, Together With the Nautilus.
It is Therefore Extremely Exciting to Have Discovered, Like a Needle in a Haystack, This Most Probably Unique Pair of Reference 5065 Models (for the Blue Dial Example Please See Lot 118), Created According to Our Research for an Important North American Client as Part of a Set of Four Reference 5065s With Unique Color Schemes.
Consigned by the Original Owner, Who Purchased the Present Prune Version Along With the Blue Colored Version as a Romantic Gesture During a Holiday in the Usa With Her Then Boyfriend, the Watch is a Perfect Anomaly and a Rare Example of the Extremely Exclusive Customization Program That Patek Philippe Offers to a Rarified Group of Clients.
