In 2007, Patek Philippe introduced the upgraded reference 5167A to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Aquanaut. The design was reinterpreted with several modifications to meet the taste of contemporary collectors, most noticeably the case size has been enlarged to 40mm in diameter, and the dial was adjusted to a simpler design with a shallower dial embellished by slightly more curved lines to match the roundness of the beautifully finished octagonal rounded bezel. Matching perfectly with the dial, the reference 5167A also featured a new Tropical rubber strap with enhanced texture and durability, fitted with a more sophisticated double deployant clasp.

The present reference 5167A is powered by the automatic calibre 324 SC, introduced in the early 2000s. It is fitted with a larger 21K gold centre rotor for generating greater power, and it beats at a frequency of 28,800 vph, with 45 hours of power reserve. Stamped with the Patek Philippe Seal, the movement is completed with the highest level of quality, and the delightful Patek Philippe style finishing is fully on view through the sapphire caseback.

The present example retailed by Tiffany & Co further heightens its rarity and appeal with the retailer’s signature positioned at six o’clock. Presented in exceptional overall condition and complete with its bracelet and original accessories, the present example is a splendid opportunity to obtain a highly sought-after Tiffany-signed timepiece.
