Catalogue Essay
Following the debut of the first Aquanaut model in 1997, Patek Philippe released the reference 5167 in 2007 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the firm’s very first sports model to feature a rubber strap. Originally released in stainless steel, the ref. 5167 offered a contemporary appeal to the ever-changing trend with a larger case than its predecessor. The model featured an upgraded dial with a defined pattern that subtly contrasts against the case. A newly incorporated deployant clasp was also featured. In 2009, the firm released a pink gold variant of the reference with an attractive brown dial, such as the present watch.
The present watch is an exceedingly rare variant as it was sold by the storied jeweler and retailer, Tiffany & Co. Tiffany & Co. is Patek Philippe's longest running retailer and partner, their relationship starting since 1851. Such is their good relationship that Tiffany and Co. has been granted the honor of printing their name on some of Patek Philippe's dials.
Following the news that only the Tiffany & Co. salon in New York will continue retailing Patek Philippe timepieces, watches co-signed Tiffany & Co. will become even rarer.
Fresh to the auction market, the present watch is the eighth example of a reference 5167 in pink gold with the signature of Tiffany & Co. on the dial to appear on the public market.
