Alkuperäinen kuvaus

We are pleased to present this highly attractive Patek Philippe Aquanaut Ref. 5165A, accompanied by its original inner and outer boxes and a recently issued Extract from the Archives.

The Extract confirms that this example was manufactured in 2008 and originally sold on 19 May 2008.

The Ref. 5165A occupies a particularly interesting position within the history of the Aquanaut. Produced for only a relatively short period, it combines the compact proportions collectors appreciate in earlier Aquanaut models with the more contemporary design language introduced by Patek Philippe in this generation.

Its stainless-steel case measures approximately 38 mm, creating a balanced presence on the wrist. The proportions are noticeably more compact than those of the larger Ref. 5167A, while retaining the recognisable appearance of the modern Aquanaut.

According to the Extract from the Archives, the watch was originally delivered with a black-grey embossed dial featuring applied white-gold Arabic numerals and Superluminova. This characteristic configuration remains one of the defining visual elements of the reference.

Inside is the self-winding Patek Philippe calibre 324 SC, displaying hours, minutes, sweep seconds and date. This movement represents an important generation within Patek Philippe’s modern automatic calibres and is highly regarded for its refined construction and finishing.

The watch underwent a complete movement service in July 2026. The movement was carefully disassembled, cleaned, lubricated, adjusted and tested to ensure excellent mechanical performance.

At the same time, the stainless-steel case and folding clasp received a very light professional polish. Particular attention was given to retaining the original geometry, edges and proportions of the case.

A new and uncut Patek Philippe composite strap is fitted to the watch. The future owner can therefore have the strap precisely adjusted to their individual wrist size.

This Aquanaut is accompanied by its original Patek Philippe inner and outer boxes, together with the Extract from the Archives dated 3 August 2026. Combined with the recent movement service and new uncut composite strap, this creates a particularly complete and attractive package.

The photographs provide a detailed impression of the condition and finishing of the watch. We are also pleased to provide additional photographs or a detailed video of any specific area upon request.
