• Dial signed by retailer “Tiffany & Co.”
• Introduced in 2019
• Complete collectors set, consigned by the original owner
Introduced in 2017 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Aquanaut collection, the Patek Philippe reference 5168G marked a significant evolution in both scale and character. Enlarged to 42.2 mm and rendered exclusively in white gold, it embodies a confident modernity while preserving the refined, contemporary elegance intrinsic to the Aquanaut line. The discreet use of precious metal imparts a nuanced sense of “stealth luxury,” a quality that continues to resonate strongly with discerning collectors.
The introduction of the khaki green dial in 2019 further heightened the model’s desirability. Immediately celebrated for its distinctive and unconventional hue, the dial offers a sophisticated departure from traditional color palettes while retaining remarkable versatility. Since its release, demand has remained exceptionally robust, with waiting lists extending years beyond initial availability.
The present example is preserved in virtually new, unworn condition and is offered as a complete set, accompanied by its Certificate of Origin, presentation box, and outer packaging. Of particular significance, the dial bears the coveted double signature of “Tiffany & Co.” Uniting contemporary appeal with exceptional rarity and the added prestige of a “Tiffany & Co.” signature, the present reference 5168G represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a modern icon of enduring collectability.
