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 example, a Reference 5167A-001, dates to 2010 and features a 40mm stainless steel case, a sapphire crystal, a lovely anthracite textured hobnail dial with printed indices and a matching handset, as well as Patek's Calibre 324 SC automatic movement framed by a sapphire exhibition caseback. Outfitted to a signed, black textured rubber strap and equipped with a 120 meters of water resistance, this stainless steel sports watch from Patek Philippe is exactly how you should St. Tropez. In outstanding condition, this piece is accompanied by its original set, including its complete inner and outer box set, leather folio, books, and Certificate of Origin dated 2015. Be careful when putting this bad boy on ... it might be the last watch you wear for the rest of your life!
