Catalogue Essay

In 2007, Patek Philippe introduced the updated reference 5167A to mark the 10th anniversary of the Aquanaut. Modernized for contemporary collectors, the case size was increased to 40mm for a bolder wrist presence, while the dial was simplified with a cleaner design and more curved lines to complement the rounded octagonal bezel. The date aperture was repositioned at 3 o’clock, and the watch debuted a new Tropical rubber strap with enhanced durability and a refined double deployant clasp.

The present watch is an exceedingly rare variant as it was sold by the storied jeweller and retailer Tiffany & Co. Tiffany & Co. is Patek Philippe's longest-running retailer and partner, with their relationship dating back to 1851. Following the news that only the Tiffany & Co. salon in New York will continue retailing Patek Philippe timepieces, watches co-signed by Tiffany & Co. are set to become even rarer, further elevating their desirability among collectors.

Offered in excellent overall condition and accompanied by its full set of original accessories, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a highly coveted Tiffany-signed Aquanaut—a true gem for discerning collectors.

Patek Philippe

Swiss | 1839

Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications. Traditional and conservative designs are found across Patek Philippe's watches made throughout their history — the utmost in understated elegance.

Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499. Other famous models include perpetual calendars such as the ref. 1526, ref. 3448 and 3450, chronographs such as the reference 130, 530 and 1463, as well as reference 1436 and 1563 split seconds chronographs. Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
