Looking for a Patek Philippe Aquanaut, 5165.
Anyone that knows where I can find one?

Thanks in advance!

I got my 5165 from Narikaa, the MBK Aquanaut 5165. Best Patek rep out there [correct date-wheel, DW-position, etc], I love it, here's a review:

It can be had for around $450 +/- from Narikaa and $500+ from Eurotimez @ RWG.

I can't tell in this picture, but does the watch have the second marker directly to the right of the date window?

No, it doesn't have it since it's the 5165, the 5167A has the marker:

Wow, thanks for the quick response. Can you get a 5167a rep?

this one (5165) is 38mm?

the link up there (5167) is the wrong size...
description says 42mm but in fact the GEN should be 40mm...
also the dial is incorrect (wrong position for the date window)

$500 Rep Vs. $130 Rep... The 5165 is 38mm not including crown.

No prob. This is the only 5167A Rep I know of:

viewtopic.php?f=196&t=44019&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=aquanaut


Thanks but I think I am going to hold off until they get these PP reps a lot closer to the gens.

The 5167A rep is not the best PP rep, but If you're not satisfied with the 5165 rep then don't hold your breath, that's probably as good as they'll get.

I am satisfied with the 5165 rep just not the pricing.. . :mrgreen:

I should, however, mention that I personally think the Aquanaut looks like a watch you'd find in the 1970s on a guy with a perm and a porno mustache, wearing a powder blue leisure suit, and stepping out of his red corvette.


I'm glad I'm not the only person that thinks that!
