To the best of our knowledge the present lot is fresh to the market. Patek Philippe’s white gold Aquanaut reference 5168G-010 ‘Khaki’ was introduced at Baselworld in 2019. An immediate ‘must have’ watch, this precious metal sports watch is almost never seen on the open market and almost impossible to obtain. Christie’s is therefore delighted to be able to offer the present superb example from the Champion Collection. Furthermore, it is presented in nearly new condition and comes complete with full set of accessories. With great presence on the wrist, the ‘Khaki’ dial is echoed by the complementary ‘khaki’ strap embossed with the same pattern as the dial. It is secured by an 18K white gold deployant clasp.

The white gold ‘Khaki’ Aquanaut followed the first version of the reference 5168G in blue that was released in 2017 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Aquanaut model. Featuring a 42.2 mm ‘Jumbo’ case instead of the 40 mm case of the steel Aquanaut reference 5167, the reference 5168G has joined the ranks of the most desired and exclusive luxury sports watches.
