The Patek Philippe Aquanaut Reference 5167/300G-010 is a striking and highly versatile luxury sports watch that embodies the brand’s modern approach to horology. Cased in white gold, the case exudes both elegance and durability, accentuated by the collection’s signature rounded octagonal bezel—a defining feature of the Aquanaut line.
While the Reference 5167 is well-known among enthusiasts, this particular variation is known to very few. Believed to have been produced in an extremely limited run of just 10 pieces in white gold (5167/300G) and another 10 in pink gold (5167/300R), it was offered exclusively by invitation to a select group of the brand’s most important collectors—underscoring its rarity and desirability.
What truly sets this timepiece apart is the dazzling setting of 101 baguette-cut diamonds on the bezel and case, totaling an impressive 6.32 carats. As expected from Patek Philippe, only the finest diamonds—superior in cut, color, and clarity—were selected, and each stone was meticulously hand-set to perfection.
We are proud to present this exceptionally rare example, which seldom appears at auction. A true connoisseur’s piece, it represents a remarkable opportunity to acquire one of the most elusive and exquisite iterations of the Aquanaut.
