Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5968G-001 White Gold Blue Dial (2022)

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5968G-001 is a bold expression of sporty elegance, housed in a 42.2mm case crafted from 18k white gold. With its sleek, rounded octagonal bezel and polished and satin-brushed surfaces, the watch delivers a refined yet contemporary presence on the wrist. This model marks a significant evolution in the Aquanaut line by combining the sporty aesthetic of the collection with the added complexity of a flyback chronograph.

The standout blue dial is embossed with the Aquanaut’s signature checkerboard pattern and is enhanced by white-gold applied numerals and luminescent hands for optimal readability. The color-matched chronograph seconds hand and subdial at 6 o’clock maintain a clean and symmetrical design while subtly emphasizing the model’s complication. The dial’s vibrant shade seamlessly coordinates with the accompanying blue composite rubber strap, which is textured to echo the dial’s motif and fitted with a white gold fold-over clasp for added security and comfort.

At its core, the 5968G-001 is powered by the caliber CH 28‑520 C, a self-winding flyback chronograph movement that combines traditional column-wheel control with a vertical disk clutch. This advanced mechanism enables smooth operation of the chronograph hand with no jittering and allows the chronograph to run continuously without affecting precision timekeeping.

With 120 meters of water resistance and a screw-down crown, the Aquanaut 5968G-001 is ready for both urban adventure and aquatic activity. It’s a striking modern complication from one of the most prestigious watchmakers in the world, perfect for collectors seeking a versatile and sporty Patek Philippe with everyday appeal and horological sophistication.
