Is the Aquanaut 5167A worth $70,000?

At $70,000 it is priced as a collector's steel sports watch, not a value buy. If you want the Aquanaut look and brand, that is the market; if you want a steel sports watch at retail, look elsewhere.

How does it compare with the Nautilus 5711?

The 5167A is smaller at 40mm, comes on a rubber strap and costs far less than a 5711. The Nautilus has the bracelet and the more famous silhouette; the Aquanaut is the more casual, wearable option.

Is it waterproof enough to swim with?

Yes. It is rated to 120m, which covers swimming and snorkeling. Have the seals checked at service and avoid hot showers or diving.

Typically the watch on its Tropical strap, a Patek travel pouch and papers. Confirm with the seller whether the original certificate and box are included, since that affects value.

Does it come with a steel bracelet?

No. The 5167A ships on the black Tropical composite strap with a fold-over clasp. A Patek steel bracelet is a separate, expensive purchase.

Our take on the Aquanaut 5167A-001

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167A-001 is a 40mm stainless steel sports watch with an automatic mechanical movement, a black Tropical composite strap and 120m water resistance. It is Patek's entry point into its casual steel line, and its embossed dial and rounded octagonal case make it instantly recognizable. At $70,000 at Authentick Luxury Watches as of November 3, 2026, it sits near the top of its recent range, well above its $20,000-plus retail level, because steel Patek sports models trade far over list.
