Considered the other sport watch of Patek Philippe next to the Nautilus, the Aquanaut was launched in 1997. The Travel Time model, reference 5164 in steel, was presented at BaselWord in 2011.
For the first time, the Patek company introduces a complication on an Aquanaut, a GMT hand that allows the simultaneous display of two time zones.
The solid hand indicates the local time and the hollow hand is the home time.
When traveling, it is sufficient to actuate one of the two correcting push-buttons integrated in the case in order to advance or retract the hour hand of the local time by one hour.
The day / night double indication for home and local time indicates whether it is daytime or night.
When the dual time zone function is not used, the two hands of the superimposed hours move in perfectly synchronized manner.
The sapphire crystal caseback shows the caliber 324 S C FUS with double time zone and date, self-winding mechanical movement.
The "Tropical" composite strap with folding clasp has a sporty character.
Its simplicity of use made the immediate success of this model, very difficult to obtain new in view of the lists of expectations constituted in the Patek Philippe shops.
The model for sale is from June 2014.
