Catalogue Essay
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. The date aperture is positioned at the 3 o’clock in place of the hour marker, making it closer to the centre of the dial. Matching perfectly with the dial, the reference 5167A also featured a new tropic rubber strap with enhanced texture and durability, fitted with a more sophisticated double deployant clasp.

The present example retailed by Tiffany & Co further heightens its rarity and appeal with the retailer’s signature positioned at 6 o’clock. Presented in exceptional, virtually brand new condition and complete with full set of original accessories, the present example is a splendid opportunity to obtain a highly sought-after Tiffany-signed timepiece.
