Catalogue Essay
Debuted in 1997, the Patek Philippe Aquanaut offered collectors an alternative to the Nautilus with an elevated sporty aesthetic. Initially produced as a limited series of 1,000 pieces, the Aquanaut ref. 5060 opted for a similar case design to its elder brother with a smaller case dimension of 36mm in diameter. It became an instant hit among both young and seasoned enthusiasts, resulting in the subsequent conception of the standard issued ref. 5065, marking the firm’s inaugural wristwatch to incorporate a now-signature tropical rubber strap.
Known as the “Jumbo” due to its large dimensions at 38mm diameter, the ref. 5065 inherited the distinct design DNA from the ref. 5060 while also featuring a transparent sapphire caseback, inviting the wearer to admire the exquisite architecture of the cal. 315 SC.
A rare full set example from circa 2006, the present Patek Philippe Aquanaut ref. 5065A still retains its Certificate of Origin and set of accessories including its original presentation box.

Artist Biography
Patek Philippe
Swiss
• 1839
Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.
Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
