Aquanaut 5067 Stainless Steel / Blue

In Context

At 35.6 mm it is classically proportioned: the size a dress watch was understood to be for most of the twentieth century, and small enough to sit under a cuff. The 7.7 mm case is genuinely slim and goes under a shirt cuff without argument. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 120 m is genuine swimming resistance — more than the shape of this watch suggests it would need.

It is quartz, so it will hold time far more closely than any mechanical watch here, and asks for a battery every few years rather than a service.

5067A-025 is one of 6 executions of the 5067A base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a blue dial and a stainless steel case.

The E23-250 S C is Patek Philippe's quartz movement with a date and sweep seconds, for the ladies' Nautilus and Aquanaut. It powers 22 watches in this library. It is 23.9 mm across and 2.5 mm high with 80 parts and 8 jewels, and it gives the 32 mm Nautilus 7010 and the Aquanaut Luce the sports watches' dials, with the date at 3 o'clock and a centre seconds, without a mechanical movement the smallest cases could not hold at the same thickness. It is finished to Patek's standard behind a closed back. In the library it powers 13 [Nautilus](/brands/patek-philippe/nautilus) 7010 references at 32 mm, in rose gold and steel with diamond bezels, and 9 [Aquanaut](/brands/patek-philippe/aquanaut) Luce references at 35.6 mm and 38.8 mm. The [324 S C](/calibers/patek-philippe-324-s-c) is the automatic of the 35.2 mm Nautilus 7118 and the mechanical Aquanaut Luce, and the [E15](/calibers/patek-philippe-e15) the smaller quartz movement of the Twenty~4.

21 other watches in the library run the Patek Philippe E23-250 S C.
