Launched in 1997, the Aquanaut was originally designed to appeal to a younger, more active generation. The inaugural model, the 5060A, set the foundation for the line. Over the years, while maintaining the distinctive case design, subsequent models have seen advancements in both size and functionality.
A notable milestone came in 2011 with the introduction of the Aquanaut Travel Time Ref 5164. This marked Patek Philippe's first foray into adding complications to the Aquanaut line. Featuring two pushers on the left side of the case for seamless adjustment of the second time zone, this timepiece effortlessly marries practicality with elegance.
Since its inception, the Aquanaut Travel Time Ref 5164 has garnered immense admiration within the horological community. Its enduring appeal is further heightened by the watch being factory single sealed and adorned with the prestigious Tiffany & Co. signature, rendering it even more rare and coveted among collectors.
