    For the Aquanaut’s 10th anniversary, Patek Philippe again surprised watch connoisseurs and collectors around the world by introducing the 5167 reference which featured numerous upgrades.

    Improvements incorporated in the reference 5167 included a more pronounced pattern on the dial base, a less crowded dial, a date that supplants the three o’clock hour marker, a new strap with improved texture, as well as a more sophisticated double deployant clasp. In contrast to the reference 5165, this model featured a larger, 40 mm. diameter case, further highlighting the robust look of the watch.

    Patek Philippe

    Swiss • 1839

    Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

    Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
