In 1996, the 20th anniversary of the Nautilus line, Patek released a little known 18k yellow gold variation on the Nautilus of which only a few hundred pieces were produced that year. This ref. 5060J was essentially a dressier version of the mid-size ref. 3800 Nautilus. It featured the same 36 mm case as the ref. 3800 but with the iconic side hinges removed. The 5060J also saw the introduction of lugs and, for the first time, a leather strap. The dressy look of the watch was further enhanced by the incorporation of a glossy black dial with applied Roman numerals and elegant leaf hands.Nowadays, the 5060J is widely considered the first Aquanaut.
