Overview
The Aquanaut as a flyback chronograph
The Patek Philippe Aquanaut Chronograph, reference 5968G-010, in white gold with a khaki green varnished dial and the chronograph indications in white, on a khaki green composite strap. Self-winding calibre CH 28-520 C, flyback chronograph with 60-minute counter and date at 3 o'clock; 42.2 mm from 10 to 4 o'clock, 11.9 mm high.
This execution carries a khaki green varnished dial with the embossed pattern, its chronograph indications in white, white gold applied numerals and large white gold baton hands with luminescent coating, on a khaki green composite strap with a white gold patented fold-over clasp. Patek Philippe presents the green as blending with the white gold of the case.
The reference 5968 is the Aquanaut Chronograph, the collection's self-winding flyback chronograph, which Patek Philippe presents as the sportiest of complications. The dial carries the embossed Aquanaut pattern, and the composite strap closes with a patented fold-over clasp in white gold.
The calibre CH 28-520 C is a flyback chronograph with a vertical clutch: 30 mm across, 6.63 mm high, 308 parts and 32 jewels, wound by a 21K gold central rotor. The chronograph hand runs from the centre and elapsed minutes are counted at 6 o'clock, with the date in an aperture; flyback means the running chronograph can be returned to zero and restarted without a separate stop and reset. It beats at 28,800 semi-oscillations an hour on a Gyromax® balance with a Spiromax® balance spring, for a power reserve of 45 to 55 hours, and carries the Patek Philippe Seal.
For collectors
The 60-minute counter sits at 6 o'clock, which Patek Philippe presents as echoing the rounded octagonal shape of the bezel.
