About this watch

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut Steel Ref: 5167A is one of the most recognisable modern luxury sports watches, representing a younger, more contemporary expression of Patek Philippe’s legendary craftsmanship. Introduced in 2007, the Ref: 5167A succeeded the earlier 5066/1A and became the cornerstone of the modern Aquanaut collection, featuring a 40 mm stainless steel case, the distinctive rounded octagonal bezel, and the signature black embossed “Tropical” composite dial paired with a matching rubber strap. Designed for active lifestyles, the Aquanaut was first introduced in 1997 as a sportier alternative to the Nautilus, drawing inspiration from Patek Philippe’s tradition of combining elegance with everyday durability. The watch is powered by the in-house Calibre 324 S C, an automatic movement featuring a Gyromax balance and Spiromax balance spring, delivering approximately 45 hours of power reserve and finished to the standards of the Patek Philippe Seal.
