Patek Philippe Aquanaut 'Black Dial' (Ref. 5167A-001) - Current Model

An exceptional and highly coveted stainless steel automatic wristwatch, featuring a black embossed dial and a black composite strap. Presented in brand-new, unworn condition as a complete full set. 

Launched as a contemporary and dynamic evolution of luxury sports watch design, the Reference 5167A represents one of the most sought-after references within Patek Philippe’s modern line-up. With its gently rounded octagonal case inspired by the legendary Nautilus architecture, the Aquanaut masterfully balances casual elegance with the highest standards of haute horlogerie. At its mechanical heart beats the prestigious in-house Calibre 26-330 S C automatic movement, showcasing an exquisite central 21K gold rotor, flawless hand-finishing, and the strict Patek Philippe Seal of quality visible through the sapphire crystal exhibition case back. 

This specific lot is distinguished by its iconic black embossed dial, featuring a subtle graded effect that effortlessly shifts from deep black to charcoal grey. The textured geosphere pattern is perfectly complemented by applied 18K white gold Arabic numerals and matching hands, all treated with luminescent material for superior legibility. Enclosed in a perfectly proportioned 40.8mm stainless steel case with beautifully contrasted satin-brushed and polished bevels, the timepiece offers a slim, low-profile fit on the wrist. The watch is fitted to its original ultra-resistant, water-proof black composite Tropical strap and is secured by the patented stainless steel Aquanaut fold-over clasp. 

A definitive Grail piece for high-end luxury collectors, offering an unrivaled combination of sporty nonchalance and peak horological refinement. Offered at Maynard Auctions in pristine, unworn condition accompanied by its original box and papers.
