  • Catalogue Essay

    To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Aquanaut, Patek Philippe unveiled the ref. 5167, a timepiece that astonished collectors with its array of upgrades and enhancements compared to its predecessor, the ref. 5165.

    Upon first glance, one is immediately drawn to the dial, which boasts a more intricate and defined pattern, a visual feast that captivates the eye and showcases Patek Philippe's unwavering commitment to refined aesthetics. The case, now measuring a contemporary 40mm in diameter, lends the watch a more substantial and commanding presence on the wrist, while the newly designed three-link bracelet, with its satin-finished center links, adds a touch of understated elegance to the overall design.

    These thoughtful upgrades have imbued the ref. 5167 with a more robust and modern appeal, solidifying its status as one of the most coveted Aquanaut models in the eyes of collectors and enthusiasts alike. The present example from circa 2009 is in outstanding condition. Further accompanied by its full set of accessories, this Aquanaut is a reliable and stylish daily choice.

    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.
