Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167/1A-001 replica on the steel bracelet
This is the time and date Aquanaut with metal in place of rubber. The 40.8 mm steel case keeps its brushed rounded octagonal bezel, the black dial keeps the checkered grid, luminous Arabic numerals and a white date window at 3, and an integrated steel bracelet runs straight out of the case. On the wrist it feels dressier and has more weight than the rubber-strap version. On the QC photos the dial is a gradient, dark grey at the centre and close to black at the rim.
You can order it as A Grade, AAA or SuperClone. A Grade is 316L steel with mineral glass; AAA and SuperClone move up to 904L steel and sapphire, and SuperClone is the most accurate at -5/+6 seconds a day. Rated 30 m with a screw-down crown, it handles rain and hand washing.
Its folding clasp is signed on the inner blade and has the cross emblem on the outside (photos 9 and 10, bracelet still partly in protective film). That cross is repeated on the crown (photo 6), and a display caseback reveals the automatic movement and gold-tone rotor (photo 8).
On rubber, in 42.2 mm or with more on the dial
Take away the bracelet and fit black rubber, and you have the Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167 replica, reference 5167A-001; in rose gold-tone the brown-dial 5167R-001 wears brown rubber. The bigger 42.2 mm case comes as the 5168G-001 in blue and the 5168G-010 in khaki green. Local and Home windows appear on the steel 5164A-001, still 40.8 mm, and a chronograph comes with the black-dial 5968A-001 with orange accents or the khaki chronograph on a khaki strap, both 42.2 mm. All Aquanaut references share one page, and our Aquanaut guide walks through them one by one.
Questions about the 5167/1A-001
Can the bracelet of the 5167/1A-001 be shortened?
Yes. Most wrists need 2 to 4 links out, and any watchmaker or jeweller can do it. Your QC photos show how the links of your bracelet are fixed.
What is the difference from the 5167A-001?
The case and dial are the same 40.8 mm steel and black checkered design. This version comes on a steel bracelet, the 5167A-001 on black rubber.
When do I see my own watch?
Usually 3-5 business days after payment: 8-12 QC photos and a video land in your inbox, and the watch is dispatched after you say yes.
