The Nautilus that was to become the Aquanaut

The genesis of the Aquanaut

The link between the Nautilus and the Aquanaut is the yellow gold Ref.5060. Secretly introduced as the Nautilus 5060S in 1996 it could be seen as a test from Patek to have a Nautilus on a leather strap. This led the brand in the following year to introduce an all new collection of sports watches based on this reference, later to be named Aquanaut. A new model line which was designed to appeal to a younger audience that had a decidedly more casual approach to luxury. After the official launch of the Aquanaut collection in 1997 the reference of the watch changed from 5060S to 5060J.

Everything Remains Different

You can probably say pretty much anything about the watch year 2023, but not that it lacks excitement. After the great hype of recent years, watch prices are still falling to a fairly comfortable level. Nevertheless, at least among the new breed of watch investors, a little panic is spreading here and there due to this unfamiliar situation.

TIMELOUNGE Market Update

After a uniquely strong price increase at the beginning of the year, especially for the brands Audemars Piguet and Patek Philippe, the market for Royal Oaks, Nautilus, and Aquanauts cooled down considerably again in the second half of the year. Where do things go from here?
