Why We Love it
–The Patek Philippe Aquanaut may be one of the most important modern luxury sport watches on the market.
The Reference 5060J, launched in 1996 for the 20th anniversary of the Nautilus, was a sort of transitional watch. Borrowing features from the Nautilus but doing away with the famed case “ears” of that porthole-inspired model and adding lugs, it provided the basis for the Reference 5060A in 1997, the first model actually bearing the Aquanaut name. The Aquanaut would go on to form the basis of a full collection of luxury sports watches that provided the entry point into the Patek Philippe catalog.
This piece, a Reference 5167/1A-001, dates to 2011 and features a 40mm stainless steel case with a satin-finished bezel, sapphire crystal, a signed screw-down crown and a water resistance rating up to 120 meters. On the dial you'll find all of the signature Aquanaut features present — offered in an ombre anthracite tone that fades to black towards the edges, hobnail texturing, luminous Arabic indices, a matching luminous handset and a date indicator at 3 o’clock.
In excellent condition throughout and fitted to a factory-fresh uncut black rubber strap with a signed steel button-deployant clasp, this piece is accompanied by all of its factory goodies including its inner and outer box set, signed leather folio, and a Certificate of Origin, alongside the signed steel multi-link bracelet it was originally sold with.
With more presence on the wrist compared to its older siblings, the 5167 remains one of most highly-coveted steel sport watches on the market.
Try it on and you'll see why!
Brand Story

Brand Story
+Founded in 1839, Patek Philippe is one of the oldest watch manufacturers in the world with an uninterrupted watchmaking history. Few luxury brands in the world carry the gravitas of their name, and for good reason. The firm's commitment to excellence in horological manufacture is unflinching, and their track record of innovation in design without peer. They continue to lead the industry, and even their fiercest competitors have nothing but the utmost respect for the company.
Owning a Patek Philippe is for many the ultimate goal of timepiece collecting, and for a certain type, the only timepieces they collect. Whichever way you look at it, there is no questioning the elegance of design, superlative manufacture of their cases and movements, or the sheer elegance and emotion that comes from owning one.
Of course for a brand that is steeped in heritage, we are told ‘You never actually own a Patek Philippe…”
Well, you know the rest.
