Patek Philippe released a new Aquanaut in Baselworld 2011 with double time zone function. The new Aquanaut Travel Time ref. 5164 is the perfect travel view!
When putting on the new Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time watch on your hand, the keywords that come in your thoughts are stylish, practical and very comfortable. This is a true twin time zone watch, showing not just home time and local period, but also a date (attached in order to local time) and a day/night indicator.
The neighborhood time can be adjusted in hrs in both directions by pressing the pusher on the left side of the watch case. The date will be modified to follow local time, that also means jumping back 1 day in time. A day/night indication tells you if it's a good time to be able to call the office or family members.
Patek Philippe launched the Aquanaut within 1997, more or less a version of the Nautilus. You can identify the " porthole" form of the Nautilus case. Gerald Genta was responsible for the style of Nautilus, although it is said which Aquanaut was also created by Genta, other sources argument this.
The very first Aquanaut ref. 506x had been replaced in 2007 through the ref. 516x and showcased a more refined dial. The actual rubber strap and metal bracelet designs have also transformed, both becoming more delicate in my opinion. The new Aquanaut ref. 5164 Travel Time functions the same stylistic elements within the dial and strap since the redesigned ref. 516x selection.
The stainless-steel case measures 40. 8mm (10-4 o'clock) and is waterproof to 120 meters. Once the Aquanaut was released, it was the very first watch to have a transparent amazingly case back and offer a hundred and twenty meters of water resistance. The fabric used for the tropical rubberized strap is a composite associated with several materials designed to avoid salt water immersion, UV destruction and bacterial growth.
