Beautiful watch.
While these were unloved compared to the more "classical" watches then.
I believe they were equally popular versus the 37xx/38xx Nautilus back in the days.
Then 3712/1A was launched, the 5167 that followed a couple of years later wasn't as well received.
Missed mine, very versatile on the bracelet:
Aquanaut 5066: The Sleeper Hit in Patek’s Playbook
Just when you think of Patek Philippe, your mind usually drifts toward Calatravas polished to perfection or Nautiluses basking in their 5711 celebrity aura. Then, hiding under the radar, there’s the Aquanaut 5066 - the awkwardly cool cousin who shows up t...
Absolutely wonderful reference the Patek 5066. Still flying under the radar.
You wear it very well. Here is a great post by Nicolas on the 5066 and 5060 Some thoughts on the vintage Patek Aquanaut. Enjoy
That's a very nice model
I like how they integrated the date, a bit unusual but very well done. It's hard to beat a stainless steel watch with decent water resistance and in a compact size as the ultimate tool.
One of my favorite watches
And certainly one of the finest 'only watch' candidates I've ever owned! Mine's a 5066 with luminova dial. As nice as the the faded tritium looks sometimes, it's pretty great to have one with actually effective lume. This watch is surprisingly bright! ...
Many thanks for this great review and the lovely original advertisement ! You paired it with a rubber strap that really
accentuates the dial ! Well done ! Product extension in this ad was done perfectly in textbook style by adding Nautilus in front of Aquanaut. I guess that once collectors accepted this line, Aquanaut became it own !

The 5066a is a very cool Aquanaut. I like its size of 36mm. And thickness. Chic. Its water resistance is passable. 😊
Tfs. I mean who goes more than 50 ft under water, casual swim in the sea or pool. The 5066a can easily pass. My opinion. Cheers. 🍻 Geross.
