Patek Philippe introduced the Aquanaut in 1997, inspired by the success of the Nautilus model. The shape of the Aquanaut case features a similar porthole design and 120m water resistance. The watch features an unusual rubber composite strap for immersion in water. In 2007 Patek Philippe launched the reference 5167 series, featuring a more subtle textured dial and a larger case measuring 40mm.
