Patek Philippe Aquanaut Chronograph Flyback Reference 5968G-010 in Solid 18kt White Gold with Green “Décor Kaki Arabes Gris” Gradient Embossed Dial, Cushion-Shaped Two-Body Case with Screw-Down Crown and Rectangular Flyback Chronograph Pushers, Cushion-Shaped 60-Minute Chronograph Totalizer at 6 O’Clock, Date Aperture at 3 O’Clock, Exhibition Sapphire Crystal Case Back, Self-Winding Patek Philippe Manufacture Caliber CH 28-520 C Automatic Movement with Column-Wheel Chronograph and Vertical Clutch, 55-Hour Power Reserve, Water Resistant to 120 Meters / 400 Feet, Green Composite Rubber Strap with 18kt White Gold Double Fold-Over Deployant Buckle, 42.2mm.

The solid 18kt white gold cushion-shaped case, curved lugs, and flat angled bezel are polished and brushed. The green “Kaki” gradient embossed dial features Patek’s signature Aquanaut pattern, transitioning from a rich khaki tone at the center to a darker perimeter. Applied luminous Arabic numeral hour markers are paired with narrow sword-shaped hands filled with luminous material for high legibility. A luminous minute and chronograph seconds track frames the dial. At 6 o’clock sits a large cushion-shaped 60-minute flyback chronograph totalizer, while a date aperture is positioned at 3 o’clock. The signed screw-down winding crown is partially protected by crown guards, and there is a corrector at 8 o’clock for date adjustment. The exhibition sapphire crystal screw-down case back reveals the movement, and hallmarks are visible beneath the four lugs. The case, dial, and movement are all signed.

This Patek Philippe Aquanaut Chronograph 5968G-010 is powered by the mechanical automatic self-winding Patek Philippe manufacture caliber CH 28-520 C movement. Rhodium-plated and finished with Côtes de Genève and perlage embellishment, it is constructed with 32 jewels and 308 components and bears the Patek Philippe Seal. The movement features a column-wheel chronograph with vertical clutch allowing the central chronograph seconds hand to run continuously without affecting amplitude. It includes a straight-line lever escapement, a patented four-arm Gyromax balance adjusted for heat, cold, isochronism, and five positions, and a free-sprung Spiromax balance spring. The unidirectional 21K gold rotor runs on oil-free ball bearings with zirconium balls and oscillates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz), delivering approximately 55 hours of power reserve.

The 5968G-010 stands among the most desirable modern Aquanaut releases, combining precious metal construction with one of the boldest dial executions Patek Philippe has produced in recent years. White gold Aquanaut chronographs are made in extremely limited numbers compared to their steel counterparts, and the green “Kaki” gradient dial adds another layer of exclusivity that has proven exceptionally difficult to obtain. Demand consistently outpaces availability, and examples rarely sit long on the secondary market. For collectors who appreciate contemporary Patek references with strong wrist presence, technical sophistication, and genuine scarcity, this Aquanaut Chronograph represents a highly coveted and strategically important addition to any serious collection.
