Patek Philippe Aquanaut Chronograph Ref. 5968A-001
A bold expression of modern sport luxury. The Aquanaut Chronograph Ref. 5968A-001 showcases Patek Philippe’s contemporary vision of a high-performance sports watch.

The sunburst black dial, embossed with the iconic Aquanaut pattern, serves as a powerful backdrop for the chronograph indications highlighted in vivid orange.
Why choose this model?
A modern icon in the Patek Philippe collection.
The Aquanaut line represents a decisive step away from classical formality toward a more contemporary and dynamic expression of haute horlogerie. Reference 5968A-001 stands out as one of the boldest interpretations, merging refined finishing with unmistakable sport character.
A dial built for contrast and clarity.
The sunburst black dial is embossed with the Aquanaut motif and fitted with applied white-gold numerals filled with white luminescent coating. The orange chronograph indications provide immediate legibility and visual impact, creating a distinctive and highly recognizable aesthetic.
Technical excellence at its core.
Powered by the self-winding flyback chronograph calibre CH 28-520 C, this reference delivers smooth chronograph operation, reliability, and precision. Visible through the sapphire crystal case back, the movement reflects Patek Philippe’s in-house standards of finishing and performance.
Design, comfort, and security.
The 42.2 mm stainless-steel case features the signature octagonal bezel with contrasting polished and satin finishes. The watch is delivered as a full set: with the original pin pusher and two interchangeable straps in ultra-resistant composite material — black and orange — secured by Patek Philippe’s patented Aquanaut fold-over clasp with four independent catches, ensuring exceptional comfort and security.
A statement for modern collectors.
With its limited-production character, distinctive color accents, and contemporary design, the Aquanaut Chronograph 5968A-001 has become one of the most sought-after modern Patek Philippe sports watches, valued for both its technical sophistication and long-term collectability.
