Catalogue Essay Just as an astronaut is one who explores space, an aquanaut is one who explores the seas. In order to be conferred such a title, one must actually spend time in these most extreme of habitats, and have appropriate wrist attire for such excursions. For those more likely to spend time sipping Mai Tai’s on a tropical island than living in an oxygen depleted environment under the sea, equally appropriate wristwear is also needed. Patek Philippe’s Aquanaut was the first model produced and sold with a rubber strap. Released at Basel in 1997, the reference 5065A "Jumbo" was a limited edition watch of 1,000 timepieces, sold in both stainless steel and 18K yellow gold. The watch had a sporty appeal and was representative of Patek’s foray into creating a watch for more casual lifestyles – it was the first Patek Philippe wristwatch to be released with a rubber strap. Though drawing some design cues from the Nautilus, released 20 years earlier, it can be considered a breed unto itself. The model quickly became a strong seller, and has been released in a variety of sizes and with several different complications in the intervening years. The reference 5065 was produced from 1998 until 2006, when it was replaced by the reference 5167A. The present, early reference 5065/1A-001 stands out among these as it is the only variant of the reference ever sold as a package that included both the rubber composite strap and steel bracelet. Even for a casual, sporty wristwatch, significant planning and attention to detail went into the design for the Aquanaut. The embossed, oversized guilloché dial is reminiscent of the brick design of both the steel bracelet and the rubber strap. Significantly more luminous material is used on the dial of the Aquanaut in comparison to the Nautilus, and the hands and indexes are consequently thicker. Both references share the vertically brushed flat bezel, though the Aquanaut has more angular corners, rather than the rounded, porthole-style corners of the Nautilus. Preserved in exceptional condition for almost two decades, and accompanied by all of its original accessories, the opportunity to own this very rare and original Aquanaut "Jumbo" is one not to be missed.
