Executed in 18k rose gold, this reference introduces a 40mm case with polished and satin finishes that enhance depth and reflectivity. The brown embossed dial aligns with the case tone, featuring luminous Arabic numerals and a date aperture positioned at 3 o’clock. The automatic movement inside delivers consistent precision, supported by a rotor crafted to high finishing standards. Its composite strap, color-matched to the dial, provides durability and flexibility while maintaining comfort on the wrist. Water resistance ensures suitability for active use.

This model shifts the Aquanaut into a more expressive space. It retains its sport DNA while introducing a richer visual presence, making it an ideal choice for collectors who want a blend of robustness and elevated material craftsmanship.

Alternative / related references

The principal related reference is:

5167A-001 — stainless-steel version with charcoal-gray/black-gradient dial and black composite strap.

Patek Philippe also identifies the 5167/1A-001 as the stainless-steel bracelet configuration and the larger-format 5168G-001 / 5168G-010 as the white-gold 42.2 mm alternatives.

Movement-history note

As with the 5167A-001, the movement requires production-year qualification. Patek Philippe’s current technical page specifies 26-330 S C, while the manufacture’s historical documentation identifies the 5167R-001 with 324 S C. We should therefore avoid saying that every 5167R-001 ever produced contains 26-330 S C.
