Good evening everyone.
We previously featured the Nautilus Ref. 5711/1A-018, which was released to commemorate the 170th anniversary of the partnership between Tiffany & Co. and Patek Philippe. We hope you have seen it. As it is an ultra-exceptional item, it has received a lot of attention, so if you are a collector, please contact us as soon as possible!
Well, this time, we would like to introduce the new 2024 model, which is also a hot topic, as it has arrived at our store for the first time. Please read to the end!
"Ref.5164G-001"
"Aquanaut Travel Time" 18KWG
The Aquanaut Travel Time, released in 2024, features an 18KWG (white gold) case and an embossed blue-gray opaline dial.
The ease of use of the Aquanaut and its refreshing colors that appeal to everyone make it one of the most popular models among the new releases of 2024.
Here, I would like to briefly talk about the Aquanaut Travel Time that has appeared in the past.
The "Ref. 5164A-001" was released at Baselworld in 2011 and features a stainless steel case and a black dial.
It has a "travel time" mechanism in a 40.8mm case similar to the "Ref.5167A-001", but the case thickness has been reduced to 10.2mm, making it extremely comfortable to wear. In addition, the travel time change buttons at the 8 and 10 o'clock positions have a moderate "impact", and the simple and sporty look made it very popular, but unfortunately, production will end in February 2024.
The Aquanaut Travel Time "Ref. 5164R-001" was released in 2016 with an 18KRG (rose gold) case, about five years after the release of the "Ref. 5164A-001".
The combination of a slightly glossy brown embossed dial and a tropical band made of the same color brown composite material gives it a sporty yet sophisticated look.
We were saddened when the end of production of the "Ref. 5164A-001" was announced, but in the midst of all this, this "Ref. 5164G-001" has been released, featuring an 18KWG (white gold) case and a blue-gray opaline dial.
The combination of the blue-gray composite strap with the same color as the dial is truly "cool..." By the way, it's been almost 15 years since the Aquanaut Travel Time was first released, but am I the only one who feels like it's a new model?
"Travel Time" is a feature that will be especially useful for those who travel abroad.
Now, I would like to give a brief explanation of how to use the Travel Time mechanism.
The travel time mechanism refers to a mechanism that displays the time in two time zones simultaneously. The dial has two hour hands, the normal hour hand displays the time in LOCAL (local area, place of stay) and the skeleton hour hand displays the time in HOME (place of departure, home, workplace, etc.).
How to use and how to read
- Small windows at 3 o'clock for HOME and 9 o'clock for LOCAL distinguish between day and night (6am to 6pm: white, 6pm to 6am: blue)
- Change the time zone by pressing the buttons on the side of the case at 8 o'clock and 10 o'clock (normal hour hand)
▶Press the push button at the 8 o'clock position to advance the time by one hour. ▶Press the push button at the 10 o'clock position to advance the time by one hour. ▶The date display at the 12 o'clock position is linked to LOCAL TIME.
*There is a small button on the side of the case at the 4 o'clock position on the dial to fast-forward the calendar.
The movement that can be seen from the skeleton back is the "Cal.26-330 SC FUS," which is equipped with a travel time mechanism and is part of the "Cal.26-330 SC" with a hack function (second hand stop) and no longer has a time period when the date cannot be changed. The 21K rotor engraved with the Calatrava mark is simply beautiful.
In addition, the protective sticker still remains on the surface of the current folding buckle. The tropical band, which is the same color as the dial, has already been adjusted to the size, but the length is about 18 cm, which is plenty.
The warranty date is June 2024, and all accessories are included. The belt has been adjusted, but it is an unused item with no storage scratches. There are almost no copies on the market at the moment, and the selling price is also attractive. We especially recommend this item to anyone looking for one.
I wanted to tell you about the price, but the product was sold out immediately after it was posted on the website. Sorry about that!!

We received several inquiries immediately after the release, and we immediately put it on sale, so there must have been many people waiting for it to be on the market. I guess my eyes are right! (laughs)
summary
What did you think?
Unfortunately this time it was sold out immediately, and we are very sorry to those who were considering purchasing it, but we will do our best to obtain the next unit, so if you are looking, please look forward to it!
We will continue to add attractive models, so we hope you will look forward to new arrivals on our website.
See you next time!!
