Catalogue Essay
The Patek Philippe Aquanaut was launched in 1997 and was the first Patek Philippe to be worn with a resistant rubber strap. Introduced in 2011, the Patek Philippe Aquanaut reference 5164 Travel Time is the very first complicated Aquanaut model. Featuring a practical dual time function indicated by an additional hand, the dial also depicts both home and local day and night indication through two small apertures. Fitted with two pushers on the left side of the case band without breaking the symmetry of the case, the pushers allow easy adjustment to the local time. Retaining its iconic case design with a comfortable size measuring 41.5mm, the comfort is further enhanced via a rubber strap. The reference was introduced in stainless steel first with a pink gold iteration launched after.

The present Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time is preserved in “like new” overall condition and is further double signed by Tiffany & Co. enhancing its rarity to a whole new level. As the first Tiffany signed ref. 5164A-001 to be offered at Phillips, this is also complete with its full set of accessories, definitely not one to miss out on.
