Patek PhilippeAquanaut

KEY FACTS

• The Patek Philippe Aquanaut was launched in 1997, and was the brand’s first watch to be fitted with a sports-orientated rubber strap
• Inspired by the Nautilus, it’s become a revered model line in its own right and is highly sought-after by collectors 
• Part of Patek Philippe’s current Aquanaut range, this ref. 5167A-001 has an expertly finished 40.8mm steel case with a blend of brushed and polished surfaces showcasing the watchmaker’s attention to detail
• Due to its impressive thinness (8.1mm), it can easily slide under any shirt cuff, and with its screw-down crown and 120m water-resistant case, offers plenty of versatility 
• The dial has a unique geosphere pattern, with applied Arabic numeral hour makers coated in Super-LumiNova 
• Internally, this luxurious sports watch is powered by the calibre 26-330 movement, which is elaborately decorated and features a 21K gold rotor, all of which is visible through the sapphire case back 
• This automatic movement is equipped with a 45-hour power reserve and is stamped with the Patek Philippe seal 
• Offered by a private collector based in the United Kingdom, the watch was purchased new from a Patek Philippe authorised dealer, also in the UK
• Presented with its display box, outer sleeve, certificate of origin, booklets, leather folder and swing tag 
• Graded ‘AA’ by the vendor who reports the watch to be in ‘as new condition’, having had it photographed by ourselves 30 minutes after collection from the store; it has remained in its box since. 

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.
