Aquanaut Rose Gold Brown Dial 40mm

About the Model

Debuting in 1997 during the dot com bubble, the Patek Philippe Aquanaut was released to engage with a new kind of clientele that Patek had yet to penetrate; a younger, sportier, and trendier group of watch collectors. Building upon the same premise as the Nautilus when it was released in 1976, the Aquanaut was a sporty watch that offered a robust design and a useful array of functions. With its case body and bezel reminiscent of the Nautilus, it is no surprise that the Aquanaut was inspired by it. Released in 2016, the Aquanaut ref. 5167R’s features the collection’s signature integrated rubber strap in a dark chocolate color that matches its brown embossed dial. A dressy variant of a sporty collection, the ref. 5167R blends modern sports watch aesthetics with a luxurious construction that pairs to create a scintillating timepiece.
