Patek Philippe 5167/1A Aquanaut SS Black Dial

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167/1A-001 captures the Maison's spirited blend of modern sportiness and classical fine watchmaking. Introduced to the Aquanaut collection in 2007, this reference stands out for its robust yet elegant 40mm stainless steel case and integrated steel bracelet, secured with a double deployant clasp for comfort and durability. Its black sunburst "Tropical" dial, iconic for its embossed pattern and luminous applied hour markers, exemplifies a design language that has resonated with collectors seeking a more casual alternative to the Nautilus. The timepiece is powered by the in-house automatic caliber 324 SC, visible through a sapphire exhibition case back, which grants 45 hours of power reserve and ensures precision in both timing and date display at 3 o'clock. The watch offers versatile utility with a 120-meter water resistance, making it suitable for both aquatic adventures and urban pursuits. Measuring a slim 8mm in thickness, the 5167/1A-001 slips easily under a cuff while still commanding presence on the wrist. Delivered as a complete set with box and papers dated 2012, this example was fully serviced by Patek Philippe in the third quarter of 2025, offering additional peace of mind to discerning collectors. The Aquanaut 5167/1A's market desirability continues to rise, thanks to its blend of technical excellence, timeless design, and rarity in pristine condition with full provenance. Its enduring appeal makes it a cornerstone for any serious collection of contemporary Patek Philippe sport watches. The watch was just completely services by Patek Philippe in Q3 / 2025.
