Patek Philippe Aquanaut Jumbo 5065 Stahl Klassiker rar 315SC Automatic B+P

Manufacturer/Model: Patek Philippe Aquanaut "Jumbo" Reference: 5065A-001 Condition: exceptional collector's condition The actual highlight of this watch is its exceptional preservation. It has been worn only a few times, is in unopened original condition, and is completely unpolished. The original cuts, edges, and proportions of the stainless steel case are wonderfully preserved. The original tritium has developed particularly beautifully. The luminous material on the applied Arabic numerals, the characteristic dots, and the hands shows a beautiful, homogeneous patina. The characteristic black dial with its embossed structure is one of the great design features of the Aquanaut. The large Arabic numerals and bold hands also ensure excellent readability. At around 38 mm, the 5065 was the large "Jumbo" Aquanaut at its introduction. Inside works the automatic Patek Philippe manufacture caliber 315 SC with central seconds and date display. The finely crafted movement can be viewed through the sapphire crystal case back and belongs to the classic Patek automatic calibers of this generation. The Gyromax balance and the elaborate finishing also demonstrate the high standards of the manufacture on the technical side. The Aquanaut was introduced in the late 1990s as a sportier and younger alternative within the Patek Philippe collection. The early 5065A has its own charm that later generations do not possess. Original condition, beautifully homogeneous patina, minimal use, unopened condition, and above all a completely unpolished case make this watch an extraordinary collector's piece.
