About the Aquanaut family
The Aquanaut was introduced in 1997 with ref. 5060A as a younger, more relaxed companion to the Nautilus. It shares the rounded octagonal case shape but pairs it with an embossed grid-pattern dial and a strap made of a tropical composite material that matches the dial.
Key references include the steel 5167A, the larger 42 mm 5168G in white gold, the Travel Time 5164 with two hour hands for home and local time, and the smaller Aquanaut Luce models aimed at women, some with gem-set bezels. Many automatic models use caliber 26-330 S C. Dealers look closely at the condition of the composite strap, whether the original strap and folding clasp are present, and at the Certificate of Origin, since steel references are tightly allocated by the brand.
