Aquanaut is a very interesting watch...
I thought for many years that this is one of the watches I will never buy. But...
Last Monday we had some extra time with my wife in London and we decided to visit the Patek Salon in New Bond Street. One of the watches we were looking was 5167 Aquanaut. My wife explained to me that I really need to get one and her reasoning was that because I love to wear Patek's watches, I should also get one modest looking watch which I could wear on holidays, when swimming or diving, etc. In addition to that, she liked the dial a lot.
So what do you expect happened? No, I did not buy it on spot because I did not have the cash with me. But when I arrived home, I ordered the watch, transferred the money and I will get mine on Monday subject UPS is working like they should. I could get the watch tomorrow but we are spending the weekend in Budpest.
Best, Kari

The dial on this little beauty keeps amazing me when the sun is out!!...
That looks great :-)
I concur, beautiful dial and what I like about it that it looks good in any situation which is great, thank you for sharing. S

Hi Kari, I was in the same boat, wanted a more complicated but...
.... over Christmas I tried on the 5167 and it was love at first sight! I walked past the Patek shop in Star City, Sydney, Australia and it winked at me. Tried it on and it was just meant to be. Watches are hugely overpriced Down Under so I had a BNIB 516...
I just got the confirmation that mine is in the
hands of UPS. I am getting the steel bracelet version but on the first occasion when I'm visiting a country where Pateks are sold, I will buy also the tropical strap. Pictures will follow in due time. Best, Kari
Great Pics Picked up a Tiffany Edition today !!
Great pictures I've seen a lot of 5167a on this site as of late and I just had to have one. I walked into the Tiffany Patek store in New York over the weekend and fell in love all over again. Today I pulled the trigger. A great addition to my collection f...
Great pics of a great watch !!
Congrats !!!! Is that a pint of Guinness in picture #4? Enjoy !! Best regards Georg
I love the colour of the dial...........
It is such a beautiful & warm looking brown dial, which changes shades in different light. Nice photos..........as usual Anders
Sure is George, well spotted - in a nutshell...
... the Aquanaut enjoys trips to the pub and it's fav tipple is Guinnees, although G&Ts, continental lager and fine wine also go down well!
Beware, Kari
First of all, congratulations Puffy! I love my 5617 too. Practically as much as my Nautilus Chrono, which is a big compliment to the Aquanaut. However, Kari, I bought it both with the metal bracelet and the rubber strap. I have to say I wore the bracelet ...
That is such a great watch...
I think the Aquanaut is often dismissed, but like many Pateks I think it is by people who haven't seen them close up and handled them. The Nautilus is another where dial only really comes to life when you view it dynamically, but even the simpler Calatrav...
