**Ref. 5060** and the similar **Ref. 5066** are the original [[Patek Philippe Aquanaut|Aquanaut]] [[sports watch]] models from [[Patek Philippe]], produced from [[1997]] through [[2006]].

===== History =====
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]] was released in [[1997]] a limited edition of 1,000 pieces. It featured a 36 mm case with a solid caseback. Inside was Patek Philippe's [[PP 330|Cal. 330 S C]] [[central rotor]] [[automatic]] movement.

The Aquanaut proved very successful, so Patek Philippe put the Aquanaut into full production. Two sizes were available The 36 mm Ref. 5066 and the [[Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5065|"Jumbo" Ref. 5065]], with a 38 mm case. Ref. 5066 differed from the Limited Edition in that it had a [[sapphire]] [[display caseback]].

In [[2007]], Patek Philippe introduced Ref. 5167 at [[BaselWorld]] to replace Ref. 5066.
