Introducing The Patek Philippe Ref. 5168G 20th Anniversary Aquanaut

This year is the twentieth commemoration of the Aquanaut, and to observe Patek Philippe has made the ref. 5168G. Initially the Aquanaut was made in tempered steel and with a dark dial, particularly filling the role of an easygoing games watch. All things considered, this model changes all that, with a robust white gold case and a striking blue dial.

Presently, don't misunderstand me, this is certainly not a dressy Aquanaut using any and all means. It is, in any case, an altogether different watch from the Aquanaut you're likely acquainted with. How precisely?

To begin, the 5168G has a 42.2mm case made of strong white gold. Balance that with the 40mm steel instance of the 5167A, and you'll instantly understand this is an alternate monster. The extents and styling stay flawless be that as it may, so you get similar lines and a similar blend of cleaning on the edges and brushing on the highest point of the bezel. This is the principal white gold Aquanaut, however both the ref. 5167 (time and date) and the ref. 5164 (travel time) are accessible in rose gold.

The dial, bearing the well-known, finely emblazoned checkerboard design, is in a purplish blue tone that Patek alludes to as "night blue," gradating from brilliant in the inside to almost dark at the external edges. (This degree impact additionally showed up, fittingly, in the Patek Philippe Nautilus Anniversary Limited Edition, which stamped 40 years of that famous model in 2016.) The connected Arabic numerals, and the cudgel molded hour and moment hands, are in white gold, and covered with Super-LumiNova. The focal seconds hand is made of bronze and covered with white enamel. The date shows up in a window at 3 o'clock. The screw-down crown, finished with the Calatrava cross, guarantees the watch's water protection from 120 meters.

Controlling the watch is the gauge 324 SC, a similar three-hand date development that can be found in the 5167A. That implies that with the greater case you get a glance at a generally little development through the sapphire back. It would have been pleasant to see another or refreshed gauge here (or a 40mm watch), as opposed to a bigger watch with a similar development.

The new watch's 18k white gold case is more thin than "gigantic" in its profile in any case: only 8. 25 mm thick, owing generally to the astonishingly thin development, Patek's make Caliber 324 S C, noticeable through a reasonable caseback and estimating simply 3.3 mm in thickness. Oneself winding development has an overwhelming focal rotor made of 21k gold and engraved with Patek's obvious Calatrava cross insignia. The extensions are designed with parallel Geneva striping and highlight countersunk and cleaned gaps for the gems and screws; gold-filled etchings and round chamfered and cleaned edges underscore the shapes of individual scaffolds. Another little however flawless detail: a perlage theme in the focal point of the rotor, encompassing its metal ball. From a specialized point of view, Caliber 324 S C has a rate precision of - 3 to +2 seconds out of each day, meeting the strict prerequisites of the fabricate's very own Patek Philippe Seal.

The dial's checkerboard design proceeds, in raised alleviation, on the night-blue composite lash. Impervious to scraped area, saltwater, and UV radiation, this tie affixes serenely to the wrist with a twofold security overlap over fasten, made of indistinguishable 18k white gold from the case. The Patek Philippe Aquanaut Ref. 5168G "Enormous" — which could be viewed as a tribute to one as well as two of Patek Philippe's achievement extravagance sports observes
