The **Aquanaut Ref. 5167** is the current primary [[Patek Philippe Aquanaut|Aquanaut]] [[sports watch]] from [[Patek Philippe]] and has been available since [[2007]].

===== History =====
Patek Philipe launched the Aquanaut range in [[1997]] as a lower-priced alternative to the existing [[Patek Philippe Nautilus|Nautilus]] range. A true sports watch, the Aquanaut features a rugged three-part case and screw-down crown for 120 meter water resistance, the most of any watch with a sapphire caseback at that time. The original [[Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5060|Ref. 5060]]/[[Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5066|5066]] Aquanaut was fairly small at 36 mm but a [[Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5065|"Jumbo" Ref. 5065]], with a 38 mm case, soon followed. This would become the main Aquanaut model for the next decade.

In [[2007]], Patek Philippe introduced this Ref. 5167 at [[BaselWorld]]. It is improved over the original, with a contoured "tropical" rubber strap, improved clasp, new dial, and larger 40 mm case. Inside, [[PP 315|Cal. 315]] has been replaced by the improved [[PP 324|Cal. 324 S C]]. Both are [[central rotor]] [[automatic]] movements.

The modern Aquanaut is available in [[stainless steel]] with a rubber strap or steel bracelet (Ref. 5167A and 5167/1A) or in [[rose gold]] (Ref. 5167R). A larger 42.2 mm case [[Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5168|"Jumbo" Ref. 5168]] was introduced in [[2007]].
