Patek Philippe Aquanaut Chronograph Ref. 5968A - Patek Philippe for the cool kids
One of the funniest games in Baselworld 2018 is: “Who is Brand It's a little bit obvious. Decorated with vibrant orange on the dial as well as paired with a black and vivid orange strap, this is a brand new generation of Patek Philippe's new King of Informal watches. Now, with metal Nautilus watches in serious short supply, this new Aquanaut is expected to be a fresh entry into the Patek Philippe universe. After taking a nearer look at the new 5968A research, we have no doubt that it will bring in many new Patek Philippe followers.
The automated flyback chronograph movement CH 28-520 C, derived from the actual Nautilus chronograph, powers the brand new Aquanaut and features a main chronograph seconds hand along with a large 60-minute counter from 6 o'clock. Unlike present versions of the Nautilus wathe, the Aquanaut's subdial will not contain a 12-hour totalizer, that makes the dial look somewhat cleaner. The case size of the most recent Aquanaut has also increased, achieving a diameter of forty two mm. This is the largest Aquanaut currently offered by the brand, calculating just 1 . 2mm lengthier than the Travel Time. Nevertheless, since the pushers are not on the other hand of the crown, this distinction in diameter is hardly noticeable when comparing the two versions.

While it’s to be able to get the right feel within the wrist with a watch in whose strap size is determined by reducing, first impressions of the new Aquanaut Chronograph are pretty strong. The color combination of orange features and faded black/grey switch looks great, especially when associated with a bright orange band. Those who want to keep points subtle (without being boring) will also appreciate the black straps combo. I'll be the first in order to admit that while I can prefer the excellent quality and execution of most of Patek Philippe's items, I generally find their own watches to be too traditional for me personally to be greedy with regard to, but this Aquanaut could just be the piece that attracts me...
That is it for? The younger, more adventurous audience, as well as established Patek Philippe collectors looking for a more informal style.
Any kind of surprises? The whole darn thing, really. We realized Patek Philippe would be getting something different to the table this season, but bright orange had been completely off our palpeur.
