Patek Philippe Aquanaut replica watch
Along with the Nautilus, the Aquanaut is one of the most desirable watches in the world. It knows how to be scarce in stores and its price continues to climb on the second-hand market. Whatever its reference elsewhere. You just have to avoid buying it on a steel bracelet since all fans swear by the "rubber" version ... And the fact is, they are right.
The Patek Philippe Aquanaut ref 5168G 5168G replica watch is the very first Aquanaut for men in white gold, a metal that is distinguished from steel by its slightly warmer luster. Like the other Aquanauts - as well as the Nautilus elsewhere - its design with an octagonal bezel with softened angles enhanced with vertical satin finishes on the top and polished on the bevelled sides, remains unchanged.
The case
With its 42.2 mm, this model stands out as the most (too?) Large of the Aquanauts; the fact is that its size may not be suitable for all wrists, in particular because of the presence of the integrated rubber strap. It is kind of a shame.
The color
This diameter, indicates the Geneva manufacture in its press release, "pays tribute to the original Nautilus (1976), nicknamed Jumbo, of identical size, which is still referred to today by collectors under this name". Just to clarify, Aquanaut enthusiasts already nicknamed the ref 5167A, the "Jumbo". Beware of confusion then.
This new color is not entirely new ... Indeed, as Patek enthusiasts know, the Geneva manufacturer has already produced a khaki Aquanaut in reference 5167A. But according to legend, it would only have been produced in triplicate ... In short, it already existed, but these three models are simply extremely rare!
The dial
The khaki dial is matt. Which perfectly matches the military-sporting style of this model. On the fine checkerboard relief (which is reminiscent of a pomegranate or a map of the world), hand-applied white gold applied Arabic numerals stand out, highlighted with luminescent Superluminova coating for optimal readability even in the dark.
The movement
Other innovations distinguishing the 5168G also include the luminescent white gold applied hour markers marking the five minutes, above which turn pointed “baton” -type hour and minute hands with luminescent coating, as well as a thin "Parfil" type seconds hand, with counterweight, in white lacquered bronze.
On the engine side, this beautiful sports car is fitted with the 324 S C Manufacture automatic caliber visible through the sapphire crystal case-back. With its 3.3 mm thickness, this movement displays such finesse that even the complete watch, despite important seals (without being a real "diver", it is waterproof to 120 m), retains a thickness. very reasonable (8.25 mm).
The central 21-carat gold rotor efficiently stores energy with each gesture of the wrist with a maximum rate of -3 to +2 seconds per day, in accordance with the requirements of the Patek Philippe Hallmark.
The bridges are adorned with parallel Côtes de Genève, molded and polished holes for the rubies and screws (the latter with bevelled edges and slots), gold engravings and rounded bevelled edges highlighting the shape of each piece.
The rotor has a pearl decoration in its center around the ball bearing, while its cutout and function are underlined by circular Côtes de Genève - not to mention the large engraved Calatrava cross, registered trademark of Patek Philippe.
