Patek Philippe launched the "Aquanaut" in 1997 and its young and modern design was considered a novelty on the market. Inspired by the Nautilus, the case is shaped like a rounded octagon. The steel bracelet with Aquanaut deployant clasp matches the sporty look of this timepiece. The sapphire glass back reveals the precious selfwinding movement calibre 324SC, with its intricately engine-turned gold rotor and the Geneva seal.
