Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5968A black strap replica
The 5968A-001 is the steel Aquanaut chronograph, 42.2 mm across, with two pushers on the right of the case. Its dial shades from dark brown at the centre to black at the rim under the checkered grid. Orange is kept for the chronograph alone: the central seconds hand and the hand of the minute counter at 6. White luminous Arabic numerals and a date window at 3 complete the dial, and fine orange marks run around the outer minute track.
Strap, clasp and caseback
This listing sits on a black rubber strap with the Aquanaut grid, closed by a steel folding clasp with the cross emblem on its cover (photos 7 and 10). The display caseback shows the automatic chronograph movement and a gold-tone rotor (photo 6). The crown, also signed with the cross, sits between the pushers (photo 8); the opposite flank is brushed steel with a polished edge and one screw near the lug (photo 9).
Tiers and water
You can order it as AAA or SuperClone; both have 904L steel and sapphire crystal, and SuperClone keeps within -5/+6 seconds a day. AAA runs within ±10 seconds. With its 30 m rating it copes with rain and hand washing; take it off before swimming.
Other Aquanaut chronographs
Keep the dial and change the strap: the same 5968A-001 on orange rubber brings the colour of the hands out onto the wrist. The navy 5968 on a navy strap and the khaki green 5968 are single-colour versions, and the rose gold-tone 5968R-001 with a brown dial is the warm-metal one. For a smaller, time-only watch with the same dark look there is the 5167A-001 in steel, black dial on black rubber, while the steel 5164A-001 with a home-time hand keeps a dark brown dial in 40.8 mm. See them all in the Aquanaut collection, or start with our Aquanaut guide.
Questions about the 5968A-001 on black rubber
Does the chronograph work?
On SuperClone it does: the pushers on the right start, stop and reset it. For the AAA version of this model, ask our support team before you order.
Which strap colours are there for the 5968A-001?
Here it is on black rubber, and the same 5968A-001 is listed on orange rubber. The 5968 also comes with a navy dial and strap and with a khaki green dial and strap, each on its own page.
Is the dial black or brown?
Both. It is dark brown in the centre and turns black toward the edge, so from a distance it reads as black.
Do I see this watch before it ships?
Yes. Within 3-5 business days of payment we email 8-12 photos and a video of your watch, and it ships only after you approve them.
