Catalogue Essay
- The Patek Philippe Aquanaut was introduced in 1997 as a sportier addition to the classic Nautilus, the brand's first sports watch. With its bold design and rubber strap, the Aquanaut quickly became popular, especially among younger consumers. Initially a limited edition of 1000 pieces, the Aquanaut joined the permanent Patek Philippe collection with the ref. 5065 release.

- The present ref. 5068R-010 was launched in 2013 and discontinued in 2021 upon the new ref. 5268/200R announcement. This exquisite lady’s pink gold Aquanaut has a diamond-set bezel and matte white dial with pink gold Arabic numerals and hands.

- At once elegant and sporty, the present well-preserved example also comes on a matching white rubber strap that makes it an eye-catching piece for special occasions, and equally suitable for daily wear. The timepiece is further accompanied by its full set of accessories.
