Patek Philippe injects bold energy into its Aquanaut collection with the 5968A-001 — the first chronograph within this sporty and contemporary series. Crafted in stainless steel, this model pairs the Aquanaut’s distinctive rounded octagonal case with a dynamic flyback chronograph complication, perfectly aligned with the collection’s adventurous spirit.
The black embossed dial is accented by vibrant orange chronograph indications, delivering striking contrast and enhanced legibility. Gold applied numerals with luminescent coating ensure clarity in all lighting conditions. At its core, the CH 28‑520 C/528 self-winding caliber powers a flyback chronograph, central seconds hand, 60-minute counter, and date display, all visible through a sapphire crystal case back.
Enhancing its versatility, the timepiece comes equipped with two ultra-durable composite straps: a classic black and a bold orange option, both secured by the Aquanaut fold-over clasp. Water resistant to 30 metres, the Aquanaut 5968A-001 stands as a seamless fusion of technical precision and urban sports styling, ideal for collectors seeking a modern, statement-making chronograph from one of watchmaking’s most prestigious houses.
