Model description
In 1997, Patek went bold and released the 5060A. This piece is what we recognise today as the Aquanaut. (A is for Acier which is French for steel). The tritium lume is the biggest and most obvious neo-vintage plus. Found on the dial and hands it has aged to buttery perfection and stands out nicely against the dial which is more deeply grooved than in modern iterations of the watch (tritium was only used until about 2004). Powering the 5065A-001 is the calibre 315 SC.
