Patek Philippe Aquanaut Chronograph Ref. 5968A - Patek Philippe for the cool kids
One of the funniest games with Baselworld 2018 is: “Who is Brand It's a little obvious. Decorated with brilliant orange on the dial and also paired with a black and shiny orange strap, this is a brand-new generation of Patek Philippe's new King of Everyday watches. Now, with iron Nautilus watches in extreme short supply, this new Aquanaut is expected to be a completely new entry into the Patek Philippe universe. After taking a deeper look at the new 5968A guide, we have no doubt that it will appeal to many new Patek Philippe enthusiasts.
The programmed flyback chronograph movement CH 28-520 C, derived from the particular Nautilus chronograph, powers the newest Aquanaut and features a core chronograph seconds hand and also a large 60-minute counter on 6 o'clock. Unlike existing versions of the Nautilus timepiece, the Aquanaut's subdial would not contain a 12-hour totalizer, making the dial look a bit cleaner. The case size of the newest Aquanaut has also increased, getting a diameter of 40 mm. This is the largest Aquanaut currently offered by the brand, computing just 1 . 2mm more time than the Travel Time. Having said that, since the pushers are not on the reverse side of the crown, this big difference in diameter is scarcely noticeable when comparing the two types.

While it’s hard to get the right feel around the wrist with a watch whoever strap size is determined by slicing, first impressions of the new Aquanaut Chronograph are pretty reliable. The color combination of orange highlights and faded black/grey call looks great, especially when associated with a bright orange tie. Those who want to keep items subtle (without being boring) will also appreciate the black band combo. I'll be the first to be able to admit that while I can prefer the excellent quality and execution of of Patek Philippe's goods, I generally find their particular watches to be too conventional for me personally to be greedy regarding, but this Aquanaut could just be the piece that interests me...
Who will be it for? Any younger, more adventurous masses, as well as established Patek Philippe collectors looking for a more everyday style.
Virtually any surprises? The whole really thing, really. We understood Patek Philippe would be delivering something different to the table this coming year, but bright orange has been completely off our détecteur.
