DiW Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167 Carbon Fiber Watch
DiW (Designa Individual Watches), a renowned high-end watch customization house, has reimagined the Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167 (nicknamed the “Grenade” or “Hand Grenade”) using carbon fiber. While retaining the model’s iconic silhouette, the watch features a forged Quartz Carbon Fiber case that significantly reduces weight and enhances its sporty aesthetic. It retains the original 324 SC automatic movement and the authentic Aquanaut rubber strap, eschewing Velcro alternatives.
✨ Key Customization Specifications
- Case: Forged Dual-Tone Quartz Carbon Fiber
CNC-machined from a single block, featuring a flowing, cloud-like carbon fiber texture. It maintains the original dimensions (40.8mm diameter, 8.1mm thickness) but offers a drastically lighter feel on the wrist, eliminating the heavy sensation of the original. The bezel and lugs are reconstructed in carbon fiber, accented with select metallic details. - Movement: Original PP 324-SC Automatic Movement
Features an exhibition case back with a black coating, a 60-hour power reserve, and the Patek Philippe Seal, preserving the quality of the original factory movement. - Dial: Classic Aquanaut Embossed Grid Pattern
Luminescent hands and hour markers; the color scheme complements the black and gray carbon fiber tones. The date window is retained, offering a style that is both understated and rugged. - Strap: Original Aquanaut Fluoroelastomer Rubber Strap
Features factory-standard lugs and a folding clasp. It offers a comfortable, snug fit suitable for both diving and daily wear. Unlike online versions that use Velcro straps, the official DiW design retains the original rubber strap. – Case Back: Sapphire crystal exhibition back with a black coating for a visually cohesive look.
