Antoine Nobert de Patek knew the importance of relationships and building international clientele and retailer partnerships. In 1851 he partnered with the fine jeweller “Tiffany & Co” New York (USA). One of the brands oldest partnership’s that is still maintained till this day. In 1997 Patek Philippe decide to add another sports watch to their collection. Unlike the Nautilus, this sports model was designed with “sports elegance” in mind. An every day Patek Pilippe that shows the prestige of fine watchmaking but also rugged enough for every day use. Made in Ladies and Gentleman’s version’s and quartz and mechanical movement options, the “Aquanaut” was born.
