The automatic calibre 330 SC movement is rhodium-plated with Côtes de Genève, circular graining, bevelled steel parts and bridges, and the stamp of the Seal of the Patek Philippe quality mark. It is constructed with a straight-line lever escapement, a shock absorber mechanism, a central unidirectional 21K gold rotor, a self-compensating free-sprung flat balance spring, a Spiromax balance spring in Silinvar and the patented Patek Gyromax balance that compensates for cold, heat, isochronism, and 5 positions. 
The mechanism oscillates at 28 800 vph (4 Hz).
Case, dial, and movement are all signed.
The Aquanaut model was first introduced in 1997 inspired by the Nautilus.
This first series 5060 was produced in an early limited edition of 1000 examples. It features a solid stainless steel case back rather than the more common exhibition sapphire case back, as well as the stainless steel "butterfly" deployant buckle with Nautilus engraving on the inside instead of Aquanaut.
