The Aquanaut is the Nautilus’s younger sibling of 1997, a rounded octagon on the Tropical composite strap that made Patek casual without making it common. It has grown from entry point to waiting list in a generation.

The collection

Aquanaut

Patek's 1997 sports watch, softer edged than the Nautilus and made for a strap

The Aquanaut made its debut in 1997 as the more casual companion to the Nautilus, keeping the rounded octagonal bezel but dropping the ears and usually sitting on a strap rather than a bracelet. The dial carries an embossed checkerboard pattern that runs on into the composite strap, which Patek describes as resistant to wear, salt water and UV radiation. Cases are steel, white gold or rose gold, worked in contrasting polished and satin finishes, with applied numerals and luminescent coating on most dials. Aquanaut Luce arrived in 2004 as the smaller, diamond set half of the family, and the complications now include travel time, a flyback chronograph, an annual calendar with moon phases and a minute repeater.

Sizes in the family

35.6mm to 42.2mm, with the main automatic references around 40mm

Who it suits

Suits a buyer who wants a Patek for daytime and warm weather, on a strap built to take sun and salt water.
