This Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5164R replica adds Travel Time dual-timezone functionality to the Aquanaut platform in a 40.8mm rose gold tone case. The 5164R-001 is one of the more practical complications in the Patek Philippe sport lineup, featuring a skeletonised second hour hand that tracks home time while you adjust the main hands for your current location. The gold case paired with a brown tropical composite strap gives this reference a warm, tonal appearance that separates it from the more utilitarian steel versions. At 40.8mm, it maintains the same case proportions as the standard 5167 while housing the additional Travel Time mechanism.

Brown is the colour that ties it together: a sunburst brown dial, rose gold tone numerals and hands, and a dark brown strap, so nothing on the wrist fights the case colour. Under the rose gold tone the case is steel rather than 18k gold, which keeps it lighter than the original. The clone Cal. 26-330 S C FUS runs for about 43 hours on a full wind. For how the 5164R relates to the other Travel Time and calendar models, see our Aquanaut reference guide.

Two Pushers, One Moving Hour Hand

The Travel Time mechanism is controlled by two pushers integrated into the left side of the case at 8 and 10 o’clock. Each press advances or retreats the local hour hand by one hour, while the home-time hand remains stationary. The date changes in sync with local time.

The Traveller’s Case for the 5164R

The 5164 references attract collectors who actually travel, not just those who appreciate the complication aesthetically. The pushers on the case side are slim enough to avoid snagging on cuffs, and the hollow home-time hand provides instant readability without cluttering the dial. Compared to the steel 5164A-001, the rose gold version shifts the entire visual register from tool watch toward luxury travel piece. Both remain in the Aquanaut collection but address different priorities for the wearer.

Between the 5167R and the 5968 Chronograph

The 5164R sits between the simple time-and-date 5167R and the full chronograph 5968 in terms of complexity. It offers genuine utility without the visual weight of subdials or tachymeter scales. The rose gold material adds warmth that a steel case simply cannot replicate, and the matching brown strap creates continuity from case to wrist. For those choosing between the standard and Travel Time Aquanaut, the question comes down to how often you cross time zones. This 5164R super clone puts that practical complication within reach in a rose gold tone that mirrors the genuine’s 18k case.
