PATEK PHILIPPE AQUANAUT CHRONOGRAPH – Ref. 5968A-001 – Stainless Steel – Black Embossed Dial – 42.2mm – Folding Clasp – Two Tropical Straps – Box & Papers – 2019 – Excellent Condition – Full Set

We are proud to offer this dynamic and highly sought-after Patek Philippe Aquanaut Chronograph Ref. 5968A-001, presented here in stainless steel with its signature “Tropical” composite straps - one in orange and one in black!

Unveiled in 2018, the 5968A marked a bold evolution of the Aquanaut line, introducing a flyback chronograph to the collection for the very first time.

The 42.2mm stainless steel case, water-resistant to 120 meters, features a finely satin-brushed finish with polished accents and an octagonal bezel echoing the iconic Nautilus DNA. The case is paired with a rugged yet comfortable composite strap and a secure folding clasp signed by Patek Philippe.

Its embossed black dial features an orange central chronograph hand and matching orange 60-minute counter at 6 o’clock, bringing a vibrant, sporty contrast to the monochromatic base. White gold applied Arabic numerals and Super-LumiNova coated hands ensure excellent legibility in all conditions.

Powering the watch is the self-winding Caliber CH 28‑520 C, combining column-wheel chronograph architecture with a vertical clutch, allowing the chronograph hand to serve as a continuous seconds display with no wear. The movement, visible through a sapphire caseback, bears the Patek Philippe Seal and is finished to the highest standards.

This example is in excellent condition and comes complete with a full set, including:

- Original Patek Philippe wooden presentation box

- Certificate of origin (dated 2019, Germany)

- Instruction manuals & warranty booklet

- Black composite strap (fitted)

- Additional black composite strap (unworn)
