Lot Essay
Consigned by the original owner, the present wristwatch is offered in excellent and unpolished overall condition. Purchased directly from the Salons Patek Philippe in Geneva, the timepiece was kept throughout the years with the upmost care and is accompanied by its original certificate and presentation box.
A very coveted wristwatch, the Aquanaut reference 5065 was launched in 1997 and produced until 2006. With an attractive “Tropical” strap, the wristwatch was Patek Philippe’s first reference with a strap made of high-tech composite. With a pattern matching the dial, the wristwatch quickly captivated collectors of the manufacture through its elegant design and became one of the firm’s most popular models.
One of the most prestigious example of the reference, cases made in yellow gold were manufacture by Favre-Perret, La Chaux-de-Fonds with embossed dial.
An example of the reference 5065 is illustrated in Patek Philippe Steel Watches by John Goldberger, 2010 edition, pp. 414-415.
