On occasion of Baselworld 2018, Patek Philippe presented the very first chronograph in the Aquanaut collection, a complication which is perfectly in line with the sporty and dynamic character of the timepiece.
The new Aquanaut Chronograph Ref. 5968A-001 is equipped with Calibre CH 28-520 C/528, a self-winding flyback chronograph movement that combines tradition and innovation. It features a classic column wheel as well as a modern vertical disk clutch that prevents a rebound of the hand in either direction when the chronograph is started. Because this clutch is virtually friction-free, the chronograph hand can also be used as a continuously running seconds hand. The power reserve is 45 to 55 hours.
The look of the watch is very appealing and the chronograph function was successfully integrated in the typical design of the Aquanaut.
The 60-minute counter echoes the typical contours of the slightly rounded octagonal bezel. The broad chronograph pushers are directly adjacent to the two bulges that protect the screw-down crown.
The orange chronograph displays (large chronograph hand, quarter-second divisions of the peripheral railway track minute scale, 60-minute counter) contrast well against the black dial with embossed pattern.
Legibility is enhanced with applied gold numerals filled with a luminous compound as well as the two luminous baton-style hands.
Water resistant to 120 metres, the steel case is 42.2 mm wide (10-4 o’clock) with a thickness of 11.9 mm and sits very well on the wrist.
Patek Philippe delivers this watch with two composite straps. The black strap is standard issue. The orange one emphasizes the bold colour accents on the dial. For added comfort, Patek Philippe has fitted this water-resistant and extremely rugged strap with the new Aquanaut fold-over clasp with four independent catches.
