About the original
Patek Philippe introduced the Aquanaut in 1997 as a statement of casual elegance. Its case and rounded octagonal bezel were reminiscent of the Nautilus. The collection page says the blend of polished and satin-brushed finishes, paired with a matching checkerboard-patterned dial and strap, gave it originality and dynamism.
The steel time-and-date 5167A references have a 40.8 mm case, a screw-down crown, a 30 m water-resistance rating and a movement visible through a sapphire caseback. The embossed Aquanaut pattern runs from the dial to the strap, and the strap is a composite material. The date shows in an aperture; the 5167A-014 page places it at 3 o'clock.
