Read Conditions of Sale
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.

In 2019, to celebrate and commemorate the 2019 Grand Exhibition in Singapore, Patek Philippe delighted collectors by launching the reference 5167 with an unusual twist and adding eye-catching details. Like its national flag, the 5167 aquanaut celebrates red for the Singapore edition. 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.

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.
