 Patek Philipe launched the Aquanaut range in [[1997]] as a lower-priced alternative to the existing [[Patek Philippe Nautilus|Nautilus]] range. A true sports watch, the Aquanaut features a rugged three-part case and screw-down crown for 120 meter water resistance, the most of any watch with a sapphire caseback at that time. The original [[Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5060|Ref. 5060]]/[[Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5066|5066]] Aquanaut was joined by a [[Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5065|"Jumbo" Ref. 5065]], with a 38 mm case, soon after, and both were replaced by the updated [[Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167|Ref. 5167]] in [[2007]]. But the Aquanaut had always been a simple watch, with a date window being the only [[complication]]. Patek Philipe launched the Aquanaut range in [[1997]] as a lower-priced alternative to the existing [[Patek Philippe Nautilus|Nautilus]] range.
