発音・名称
AH-kwuh-nawt
Aquanaut is usually pronounced like “aqua” plus “naut”.
その意義
The Aquanaut is Patek Philippe’s most casual modern sports-watch line, important because it carries Nautilus-adjacent demand while having its own strap, dial, and complication language.

豆知識
Patek’s casual turn
The Aquanaut was unusually casual for Patek Philippe when launched, especially because of its composite strap.
Watchatlas editorial note
Not just “younger Nautilus”
Collector demand often links Aquanaut and Nautilus, but the Aquanaut has developed its own complication and strap culture.
