About the Watch

Patek Philippe, the Geneva-based luxury Swiss company, was founded in 1839 by Polish aristocrat Antoine Norbert de Patek. The Patek Philippe timepieces are known for their heritage, rarity, and historic prices all around the world. Patek Philippe watches occupy the top 20 spots on the roll of the most expensive timepieces ever made. It’s no wonder that the Aquanaut line was created with the goal of making premium watches more accessible to the general public.

The dial on the Aquanaut Time Travel has a soft engraved brown color. The dial colors vary somewhat in the light, contributing to the watch’s distinctiveness. The dial has a stunning geosphere pattern in the center, repeated more strongly at the six o’clock sub-dial. At nine o’clock and three o’clock on the dial, respectively, are local and home day/night indication windows. Take note of the two-hour hands: one is skeletonized and indicates the home time, while the other shows the local time.

The gold hour Arabic numbers of the Aquanaut Travel Time Rose Gold model are saturated with a moderate quantity of Super-Luminova lume. The skeletonized dial is lighted, and the white gold hour and minute dials are two sharp swords filled with bright lume, emphasizing the readability and sensation of sport. The seconds are shown by a sharp needle, while the date is indicated by a smooth sub-dial pointer. Furthermore, the Aquanaut Travel Time is cluttered; however, it maintains a basic aesthetic. It all adds up to a dial that is both legible and energetic.

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time has a casing diameter of 41mm and a thickness of 10.8mm in rose gold and steel. With stroked casing edges and polished lug-tops, the Patek Philippe Aquanaut takes a novel approach to present the distinctive language of sports timepiece design. On the casing side, it features a horizontal brushing that is straight and precise. The steel variant is particularly stunning, with a razor-sharp finished bevel on the bezel.

The rounded and smooth buttons used to control the time zone feature on the left-hand side have an attractive distinction. A concealed button to adjust the time frame out via the six o’clock sub-dial is located on the clean and firmly fastened screw-in crown with the identically curled around the sign. On the other hand, the sapphire crystal on the case back protects the watch.

The timepiece fits well to size on the wrist and has a highly athletic wrist appearance. Its rubber strap is incredibly comfy and ideal for summer excursions. Moreover, it is suitable for you if you are a globe traveler and prefer keeping track of two consecutive zones.
