Patek Philippe Aquanaut

The Aquanaut may be one of the most important modern luxury sport watches on the market.  The Reference 5060J, launched in 1996 for the 20th anniversary of the Nautilus, was a sort of transitional watch. Borrowing features from the Nautilus but doing away with the famed case “ears” of that porthole-inspired model and adding lugs, it provided the basis for the Reference 5060A in 1997, the first model actually bearing the Aquanaut name. The Aquanaut would go on to form the basis of a full collection of luxury sports watches that provided the entry point into the Patek Philippe catalog. This particular Aquanaut, a Reference 5167A-001, features a 40mm stainless steel case, sapphire crystal, a lovely anthracite textured hobnail dial with printed indices and a matching handset, and Patek's Calibre 324 SC automatic movement with date function. It comes outfitted to a signed black textured rubber strap with a signed stainless steel deployant clasp. This example remains in excellent condition throughout and is accompanied by its original set, inner and outer boxes, leather folio, books, and Certificate of Origin. If you're looking for a cool, comfortable, and classic everyday sports watch, then you've come to the right place!
