Patek Philippe Aquanaut, 5167A-001

We are proud to present this highly sought after Patek Philippe Aquanaut watch for sale.

The definition of Swiss luxury and prestige in watch-making, Patek Philippe timepieces are widely considered, above all others, to be the most luxurious and special wristwatches available around the world. Unrivalled in their approach to perfection and craftsmanship, Patek Philippe watches are highly sought-after due to their quality, intrinsic value and the fact there are not many produced compared to other luxury watch manufacturers.

When launched in 1997, the Aquanaut created a sensation. It was young, modern and unexpected from such a “traditional” brand like Patek. Its case was a rounded octagon, inspired by that of the Nautilus. And it sported a “tropical” strap, made of a new composite material ultra-resistant to wear, salt water and UV radiation.

This version the reference 5167A-001 was launched in 2007 and is still produced today thanks to its classic design. Set in a polished 40.8mm stainless steel case with a brushed bezel, the dial still features the embossed rounded criss-cross texture, which became less pronounced than on the 90’s models. It is a clean black fusé colour with large block hour markers and hands with luminous filling. There is also applied full Arabic numerals and a date feature at 3 o’clock, which are protected by a flat sapphire crystal glass. The watch is powered by the Patek automatic calibre 324 S C movement, which is visible through an exhibition caseback. Waterproof up to 120M thanks to its screw-down crown the watch comes fitted on a black ‘tropical’ composite strap featuring the same pattern as the dial with a steel Patek triple-folding clasp.

Originally purchased in 2020 and in Mint condition. The watch comes supplied with the original inner and outer boxes, Patek Philippe booklets, instruction manual, leather booklet and certificate of origin. This Aquanaut is still under Patek warranty until 2022 and would be a great chance to own one of the most desirable watches out there.
