This year, the assembling adds more tone and a higher echelon of extravagance to the model, with two new references in white-gold cases and two well known, contemporary colorways, 12 PM blue and khaki green.


                             


The white-gold instances of both new references of the Aquanaut Chronograph (Ref. 5968G-001 in 12 PM blue, Ref. 5986G-010 in khaki green) measure 42.2 mm in distance across and 11.9 mm thick and game the delicately adjusted octagonal bezel that is symbolic of the assortment, itself drawing impacts from Patek Philippe's more upscale Nautilus family. Exchanging silk and cleaned completes decorate its surfaces and flanks, its two-position screw-down crown guarantees a water-obstruction of 120 meters, and its inclining carries incorporate consistently into the shading composed lash.

In plain view behind the sapphire caseback is Patek Philippe's production Caliber CH 28-520 C, with programmed winding and a coordinated flyback chronograph work that joins an exemplary segment wheel control with an advanced vertical plate grip.
