To commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Aquanaut, Patek Philippe unveiled the ref. 5167A in 2007, 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 2008 comes from the original owner and is further accompanied by its full set of accessories.
