Patek PhilippeAquanaut

Part of a private collection, this Patek Philippe Aquanaut as a complete set. Accompanying the watch are the box, a copy of the certificate of origin, purchase invoice, booklets, swing tag, Patek Philippe gloves and travel pouch. Please note the seller has informed us that the original guarantee is subject to be released by the supplying dealer in Q1, 2023. The watch is presented in unworn condition and partially stickered bringing it within the seller’s ‘AA’ grading.

This latest generation ref. 5167R-001 has an expertly finished 40.8mm rose gold case with a beautiful blend of brushed and polished surfaces. Due to its impressive thinness (8.1mm), the watch can easily slide under any shirt cuff. The 120m water-resistant case ensures it’s just at home by the water.  The sunray chocolate dial is characterised by a distinctive geosphere pattern, with large applied Arabic numerals providing high levels of legibility. Turning the watch over, the self-winding calibre 324 SC is visible through the sapphire case back.

This ultra-thin movement boasts a power reserve of 45 hours and is elaborately decorated with Côtes de Genève across the bridges and the 21K winding rotor. The Patek Philippe seal certifies its quality and that timekeeping is tested from -3 to +2 seconds per day.

Rocking the watch industry to its core, the Patek Philippe Aquanaut was released in 1997 and redefined the norms of watchmaking. The idea of a Patek Philippe on a rubber strap initially seemed oxymoronic, but it has now stood the test of time and has established itself as a modern classic.
