2000 Patek Philippe 18K YG Aquanaut 5065/1J-001 with Box and Papers

Case: The 38mm 18k yellow gold case is excellent showing a warm rosy patina and only light wear from use. The 18k yellow gold bezel is also in excellent condition showing only light wear form use.

Dial: The black grenade tritium dial is excellent showing no visible wear. The lume has aged to a warm vibrant goldenrod hue and the hands have aged significantly lighter than the dial.

Bracelet: The 12 link 18K yellow gold Patek bracelet is excellent showing only very light stretch. The watch will fit a 7 inch wrist.

Accessories: Box, Papers & Extra Link (Missing the Screw).

Notes: In stainless the nautilus bracelet is fine. However it might be one of the few instances where a strap is preferred by most who have an opinion on the matter. In gold however it's a different story. The bracelet with its big chunky brick links seems as though it was designed specifically for gold. Adding to the watch another level of complexity and thrusting it out from under the shadow of it's older brother.
