For sale is my 1997 Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5060A first year of the Aquanaut

In 1997, Patek Philippe repurposed Gerald Genta’s Nautilus design, but in a new lens and at 36.5mm, the 5060A was born. The sportier design aimed to capture a youthful energy as their first watch designed ground-up to be worn on a rubber strap.

Never confirmed, it is rumored that the model was first commissioned from high level military officers to Stern, supposedly inspiring both the utilitarian design and “grenade” pattern adorning the dial and strap. The rubber strap took a full year of development, comprising 20 materials in its composite, fully resistant to salt water, UV deterioration, and bacteria.

In 1998 Patek discontinued the 5060A for the 5066, in the same size as the 5060, and the 5065, slightly larger at 38mm, references with display backs.

This example just came back from Patek service, includes archives, a plum strap on a new clasp, uncut khaki green strap and bracelet.
