Patek Philippe Aquanaut ref. 5165

This 38mm Patek Philippe Aquanaut reference 5165, was produced in 2007 and comes as a nice set with Patek Philippe Box and Papers (Patek Philippe Extract of the Archives).

The reference 5165 is a very rare watch, as it was only produced in 2007 (or perhaps one more year). This watch is one of the most sought-after high-end watches on the market. In case of this specific example it's in excellenct condition.

The 38mm stainless steel case and folding clasp are in superb condition. It shows almost no signs of wear. The whole case and clasp are protected by a thin layer of plastic which was added by the previous owner. Almost impossible to see and it keeps the watch protected from signs of wear. The Patek Philippe automatic movement, “Calibre 315 SC”, which means "Seconde Centrale" runs great and was inspected. The movement can be admired through the transparent glass at the back of the case.

The dial features a "flat" grenade pattern, referring to the previous generations. On the dial and hands we find luminova that is very strong. The hands and dial are all in perfect condition.

All considered, this Aquanaut is a sporty blend of tradition and avant-garde, it’s also a perfect daily wearer and an interesting investment piece.
