Celebrities Wearing Patek Philippe Aquanaut Watches

In 1997, Patek Philippe introduced another line of sports watches to their collection known as the Aquanaut. Inspired by the Nautilus, the Aquanaut was considered by collectors as its little brother. The Aquanaut has the same basic design and style as the Nautilus but with a more modern sporty twist. Equally as popular as the Nautilus, the Aquanaut has gained a celebrity following. From the likes of Paul McCartney to Sylvester Stallone, the popularity of Patek Philippe Aquanaut has continued to grow.
