FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MIAMI, FL - Unused Watches is offering a Patek Philippe Aquanaut, reference 5168G-001, whose blue dial carries both the Patek Philippe signature and the Tiffany & Co. retailer stamp. This combination brings an additional point of distinction to a reference that already holds a special place in the Aquanaut collection. Priced at $179,000, this 2019 example comes with its original box and papers.
Introduced in 2017 to mark the Aquanaut collection's 20th anniversary, the 5168G was the first men's Aquanaut in 18K white gold. Its 42.2 mm case pairs a rounded octagonal bezel with contrasting satin-finished and polished surfaces. The embossed blue dial darkens toward its outer edge, with applied white gold Arabic numerals and luminous hands providing contrast against the patterned background.
The Tiffany & Co. stamp is the defining detail of this example. Alongside the reference's anniversary origins and white gold construction, the additional dial signature gives collectors a specific configuration to distinguish from a standard-dial 5168G. In a 2020 catalogue for a comparable watch, Sotheby's described the reference as "seldom seen on the market," noting that examples bearing the Tiffany & Co. retailer stamp appeared even less often. That dated auction commentary supports the configuration's rarity without suggesting a documented production total or a one-of-one watch.
Inside is Patek Philippe's self-winding Caliber 324 S C, with central hours, minutes and seconds, a date display and a power reserve of up to 45 hours. A 21K gold central rotor winds the movement, which is visible through the sapphire crystal caseback.
For a collector seeking an Aquanaut with a detail beyond the standard configuration, this example combines the blue-dial white gold anniversary reference with the Tiffany & Co. stamp and its original box and papers.
