Patek Philippe Aquanaut

About the Aquanaut

Introduced in 1997, the Aquanaut offers a contemporary alternative to the iconic Nautilus, sharing its octagonal bezel design but employing a rounder and more contemporary appearance. Its distinctive grenade-patterned dial and “tropical” rubber strap captured the modern spirit of the late 1990s. In 2004, the Aquanaut Luce brought a feminine touch to the collection with diamond-set bezels. This model is available in several variations for men, including simple three-hand watches, dual time zones, and chronographs, with a new annual calendar model that debuted in 2023. Women's versions, available in stainless steel or rose gold, often feature diamond accents and come in both automatic and quartz movements. Today, the collection boasts 17 models, offering a mix of bracelet and rubber strap options. This prestigious collection has garnered admirers such as legendary musician Paul McCartney and acclaimed actor Tom Holland. It was introduced to the UK market early on by Pragnell, one of the first retailers to offer these in-demand timepieces.
