Catalogue Essay
The Aquanaut reference 5168G was launched originally in 2017 in celebration of the model's 20th anniversary and came not only with an updated case size of 42.2mm, but also with a new white gold case adding an extra layer of stealth luxury appeal.
The reference 5168 with khaki dial was presented in 2019 and immediately became unobtainable with waiting lists dragging on into multiple years. It exudes understated chic and can be worn equally in a casual setting and a more formal event. The dial is particularly striking and eye-catching, matching perfectly with the strap.
The present 5168G is in overall excellent condition and complete with its full set of accessories.
