Patek Philippe Aquanaut

The 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 example, a Reference 5167A-001, dates to 2010 and features a 40mm stainless steel case, a sapphire crystal, a lovely anthracite textured hobnail dial with printed indices and a matching handset, as well as Patek's Calibre 324 SC automatic movement framed by a sapphire exhibition caseback.

Outfitted to a signed, black textured rubber strap and equipped with a 120 meters of water resistance, this stainless steel sports watch from Patek Philippe is exactly how you should St. Tropez.

In outstanding condition, this piece is accompanied by its original set, including its complete inner and outer box set, leather folio, books, and Certificate of Origin dated 2015.

Be careful when putting this bad boy on ... it might be the last watch you wear for the rest of your life!

Patek Philippe.

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.
