Launched to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Aquanaut, Patek Philippe introduced the reference 5167 in 2007. Unveiled together with the reference 5165, the reference 5167 featured a larger case measuring 40mm diameter to cater towards the taste of contemporary collectors. Highly sought after in recent years, the reference can be considered as one of the hottest Patek Philippe sports models on the market, alongside the less robust Nautilus.

First and foremost, the seconds hand is in bright red, the indexes and most obvious of all the bright red rubber strap that gives the model the sports look.

One of a limited edition of 500 pieces only, the present timepiece is the second example to be auctioned at Phillips. It is furthermore offered with all its original accessories, marking an exciting opportunity for patriots or discerning collectors to acquire this exceedingly rare variant of a highly sought-after model.
