Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167 and 5164 Travel Time
What are the Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167 and 5164 Travel Time?
The Aquanaut is Patek Philippe's sportier line, and these two references are its core pair. The 5167 is the three-hand watch with a date: a slim case, 8.1 mm thick in the store's listings, with a black dial in steel. The 5164 Travel Time keeps the same case family and adds a second time zone, the home time display that its listings describe as an integrated GMT feature. Both are self-winding. The store's 5167 listings record 30 jewels and a power reserve of 45 hours; the steel 5164 listing records its Travel Time movement, calibre 324 S C FUS, with 29 jewels and the same 45-hour reserve. The steel listings record water resistance of 120 metres.
One honest complication in the data: the store's two 5167 listings record the movement under both of its designations, calibre 324 S C and calibre 26-330 S C, between their spec tables and descriptions. The two names belong to successive generations of the same movement family, which is why the check below matters.

Which Aquanaut variants are there, and how can you tell them apart?
Variant matrix
| Reference | How to tell it apart |
|---|---|
| 5167A-001 | Stainless steel on the rubber strap, with a double-fold clasp. |
| 5167/1A-001 | Stainless steel on the steel bracelet. The /1A in the reference marks the bracelet version of the same watch. |
| 5164A-001 | Stainless steel Travel Time on the rubber strap. |
| 5164R | Rose gold Travel Time with a brown dial, a thicker case at 10.2 mm in its listing, on the rubber strap. |
The letter after the reference number names the metal (A for steel, R for rose gold), and the 5164's dial separates it from the 5167 at a glance: the Travel Time carries the additional time zone display where the 5167 shows hours, minutes, seconds, and date only.
What should you check on any Aquanaut 5167 or 5164?
Paperwork is where examples of this family genuinely differ, and the store's own listings prove the range. One listed 5167A is box only, with no papers. The steel 5164's set substitutes a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives for the original warranty card. A complete 5167/1A set, by contrast, is the boxes, folio, booklets, and warranty papers, and the rose gold 5164's set carries its Certificate of Origin. Know exactly which of those positions the example in front of you occupies before you value it. On the strap versions, check the rubber strap itself: one listing notes its strap is brand new, unworn, and uncut, and a strap already cut to a previous owner's wrist is a real difference on a watch with no bracelet to adjust. On the bracelet 5167/1A, check the link count. And because the 5167's movement is recorded under two designations, confirm the calibre from the paperwork of the specific example rather than from a listing headline.
Checklist at a glance
- Paperwork position confirmed: box only, an Extract from the Archives in place of the card, a complete set, or a Certificate of Origin.
- Rubber strap checked, including whether it is uncut or already cut to a previous owner's wrist.
- Link count checked on the bracelet 5167/1A.
- Calibre confirmed from the paperwork of the specific example, not from a listing headline.
