Shreyas Iyer wearing Patek Philippe
Patek Philippe Aquanaut Rose Gold Brown Dial Reference 5167R-001 Spotted on Shreyas Iyer
The Patek Philippe 5167R has attracted a remarkably varied group of public figures, which tells you something about where this reference sits in the broader luxury watch conversation. Cricketers, rappers, footballers, royals, and actors have all been spotted wearing it. Indian international cricketer Shreyas Iyer has been photographed with the 5167R on his wrist, part of a wider trend of elite South Asian athletes choosing Geneva's top houses for their statement pieces. Rapper 21 Savage and UK grime artist Stormzy bring the watch firmly into music culture, while Benny Benassi and Black Coffee add a DJ and electronic music dimension. On the football pitch and touchline, Achraf Hakimi, Andrea Pirlo, and Wayne Routledge have all been seen wearing the reference, alongside rapper G4 Boyz Ice Baby. Actor Tom Holland and television presenter Ellen round out the list, and Tunku Ismail Ibni Sultan Ibrahim — the Crown Prince of Johor — confirms the watch's appeal at the highest levels of Southeast Asian royalty. That cross-section of professions and geographies reflects a watch that functions equally well as a sporting accessory and a status marker in formal settings.
Demand for the Patek Philippe 5167R consistently outpaces supply through authorised dealers, where waitlists are the norm rather than the exception. On the secondary and grey markets, the reference trades at a meaningful premium above its retail price, which itself sits in a range that few can access without an existing relationship with an AD. Rose gold references within the Aquanaut line have historically held value well, and the 5167R in particular benefits from being one of the more recognisable configurations in the collection — the combination of the rose gold case and the khaki-brown composite strap is immediately identifiable to watch-literate audiences.
The 5167R is the rose gold variant of Patek Philippe's Aquanaut line, built around a 40.8mm 18k rose gold case. The public sightings above — particularly those involving Stormzy, 21 Savage, and Tom Holland — have helped push the reference into wider cultural visibility beyond traditional watch collector circles.
