Patek Philippe Aquanaut: Prices, waiting lists, models & history
The Swiss luxury brand Patek Philippe, with its headquarters in Geneva, was founded in 1839 by the Polish nobleman Antoine Norbert de Patek. How was the luxury brand’s world-famous Calatrava model created? When the Aquanaut was launched in 1997, it caused a sensation. The watch was young, modern and surprising. Its case, a rounded octagon, was inspired by that of the Nautilus. It has a “tropical” strap, the bracelet is made of a new, very durable composite material. Even salt water and ultraviolet rays do not harm it.
The Patek Philippe Aquanaut is the second sports watch from the Geneva-based manufacturer Patek Phillipe. It has a water resistance of up to 12 bar and is characterized by a special attention to detail and excellent quality. The soft octagonal bezel creates a constantly changing light by alternating polished surfaces. The unique dial decoration takes up the smooth shape of the case and gives the Patek Philippe Aquanaut a dynamic appearance.
