The Exquisite New Look for Patek Philippe Rubber Strap For 5167R

There is a new Patek Philippe Rubber Strap For 5167R. Actually there are 7 new Patek Aquanaut rubber straps that Rubber B has designed specifically to fit the Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167R. These Patek Philippe Aquanaut straps have touches of the same design that Aquanaut has made popular.

The new Aquanaut created quite a stir in collector circles back in 1997 when it was launched. Although owning a Patek in one’s collection is perhaps one of the greatest achievements of a watch collector, the collector is often thinking about the Nautilus. The Nautilus has a noticeable octagon shape that people immediately identify with nautical sport such as yachting.

The Aquanaut did something different. Rather than become a mirror image of the Nautilus shape, it soften the edges of the case, making a new rounded octagon shape which is more modern and sleek in appearance. However, make no mistake, this is a Patek which takes 4 to 6 months to produce.

The dial of the 5167 is also different. Rather than using the Nautilus pattern of embossed squares, it uses a curved globe shape which looks more like latitude and longitude lines on the earth. Of course it has the embossed tasteful design of Patek to turn this globe into a globetrotting statement for the modern traveler.

The dial is highly legible, with luminescence built throughout the hour markers, the hour, minute and second hands, and on the easy to read numerals that accompany the hour markers.

The dial is a deep chocolate brown. Patek has left the steel strap on the manufacturer’s table and instead made this an easy fitting, and infinitely wearable composite strap, reminiscent of rubber straps that have become so popular due to its resistance to wear, salt water and UV radiation. The strap has a fold over clasp and is a matching chocolate brown with the dial. It also has embossed squares through out the strap to tie in the look of the dial throughout the whole timepiece.

The caliber is a 324 S C. It is an automatic self-winding mechanical movement which has a sweep seconds hand and a tastefully legible date aperture at the 3 o’clock position. It was built with 217 parts and 29 jewels. It has a 45 hour power reserve and beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour. It has a 21K gold central rotor and it winds in both directions. In order to preserve its exceptional timekeeping, the balance spring is provided by Spiromax and the balance is from Gyromax.

Probably the most noticeable aspect of this timepiece is the rose gold case and matching rose gold surrounded hour numerals on the dial. The beauty of this design is visible through the sapphire glass on both the front and on the back side of the timepiece. The beautiful design and expert craftsmanship of the caliber is viewable from the bottom side of this Patek. See the image below.

Ever since the rose gold has been combined with chocolate brown, this combination has quickly become wildly popular due to its nearly perfect and harmonious palette. The touches of luminescent white and gold against this chocolate brown backdrop provides the greatest visibility possible in a timepiece both in day and at night.

The Patek Philippe is one of the premier timepieces made today and is highly collectible. With a price of $36,970, it is certainly in line with a gold Rolex. However, if you have an opportunity to get your hands on this exquisite work of art, do so. Due to the production time for each Patek it is difficult to keep these masterpieces in stock.

Patek Philippe Rubber Strap For 5167R

Rubber B has designed 7 vulcanized rubber straps engineered specifically to fit the Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167 case and deployant buckle. This Patek Philippe rubber strap is compatible with the Patek deployant buckle that comes with the original rubber strap from Patek.

This strap is not compatible with the deployant clasps that come on a metal or gold bracelet for version 5167 (the metal case is compatible with the Rubber B strap but not the clasp). Just like the Rubber B Patek Philippe Nautilus rubber straps it previously released, the Patek Philippe Aquanaut rubber strap is perfectly calibrated to fit the curved 5167R case like a glove and support the Aquanaut clasp.

The 7 colors in the Rubber B palette for the Aquanaut include Jet Black, Expresso Brown, Arctic White, Military Green, Mandarin Orange, Navy Blue and Red Devil. The Expresso Brown strap matches the one offered by the manufacturer and the brown dial. However, many owners extend the beauty of their Aquanaut by adding a stunning Red Devil, or Arctic White or other color to their band to fit their mood, style, or desired look. This not only allows them to freely dress up or down their timepiece and extend its fashion possibilities, but it also allows them to protect the original band that came with the timepiece for future resale value.

All Rubber B products are made in Switzerland of pure vulcanized rubber. No coating, blends or bonding is used, ensuring solid quality and strength when swimming, or doing physical activity.
