Patek Philippe Aquanaut

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167A-001 is one of the cleanest and most versatile luxury sports watches. This rare version features a full stainless steel bracelet and a black/grey embossed dial with applied stick markers. It is complete with box, certificate, and papers.

The 40.8mm case is made from brushed and polished stainless steel. It wears slim at 8.1mm thick and feels balanced and refined. The case includes a screw-down crown and sapphire crystal, offering 120 metres of water resistance.

The fixed bezel is also steel, shaped in the Aquanaut’s signature rounded octagon. It’s polished along the edges and adds visual contrast to the brushed case.

The dial is marked “Noir/Gris Décor” on the certificate. It has a textured grid pattern and a dark gradient finish that shifts between grey and black under different lighting. The hour markers are clean stick indices—not Arabic numerals—and are applied in white gold with luminous fill. The hands match and offer strong legibility. A simple date window sits neatly at 3 o’clock.

Inside beats the automatic Calibre 26‑330 SC. This self-winding movement powers hours, minutes, seconds, and date. It features a 21K gold rotor, hacking seconds, and a 35–45 hour power reserve. The movement is finished to the Patek Philippe Seal standard and is visible through the sapphire caseback.

The full stainless steel bracelet is a highly desirable upgrade. It features brushed outer links with polished centres and closes securely with a double fold-over clasp engraved with the Calatrava cross. It wears solid, comfortable, and refined.

This example is in excellent condition. The case and bracelet show only minor surface wear. The dial and crystal are flawless. The movement runs perfectly and has passed all functional checks.

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167A-001 on steel is an elegant, rare, and versatile sports watch. It blends high performance with understated design and is perfect for daily wear or serious collecting. This full set is complete, correct, and ready for the next wrist.
