The Aquanaut collection drew inspiration from the Nautilus and gained immense popularity among young watch enthusiasts right from its introduction. Its distinctive rounded octagonal porthole case and textured rubber strap make it an ideal choice for collectors with an active lifestyle.
Introduced in 2011, the reference 5164 was one of the earliest Aquanauts with a complication. This particular model showcased a second time zone feature, easily adjustable through the two buttons on the side of the watch. Together with the balanced embossed dial showing both day and night indications of home and local time zones, the 5164 solidified its position as one of the most captivating Aquanaut timepieces ever created. Its success paved the way for the development of future complications within the collection.
The present lot is offered with its complete set of accessories and remains in overall excellent condition, featuring an uncut strap retained by the original owner.
