Design & Aesthetics:

The black embossed dial features a unique gradient effect and a modern grid texture that complements its vibrant orange chronograph accents — a nod to sporty elegance. Baton-style luminescent hands and applied Arabic numerals ensure clear legibility while enhancing its dynamic look.

Its 42.2mm rounded octagonal case, crafted in polished stainless steel, embodies the Aquanaut’s contemporary spirit, offering a bold presence on the wrist without compromising comfort.

High-Performance Movement:

At the heart of the 5968A-001 lies the CH 28-520 C self-winding flyback chronograph movement, a robust and precise engine that integrates column wheel control and a vertical clutch for seamless stopwatch functionality. The flyback feature allows instant chronograph reset and restart with a single push — ideal for timing successive events.

Versatility & Comfort:

The watch is paired with Patek Philippe’s signature “Tropical” composite strap, known for its durability, resistance to UV radiation, and water exposure. Its integrated steel deployant clasp ensures a secure fit for everyday wear — from the boardroom to the beach.

Why It Stands Out:

The 5968A-001 is more than a luxury sports watch — it’s a statement of understated prestige and modern engineering. As the first chronograph in the Aquanaut collection, it represents a milestone in Patek Philippe’s journey of innovation and elegance.
