Aquanaut 5167A-010 green dial
Does anyone have any info about the special Aquanaut green dial? Can't seem to find much info about this watch, except that the reference is 5167A-010 and was produced in 2011. Any idea how many was made and for what occasion?

I remember this one very well....
Was part of the bidding at Sotheby’s but hammered over my limit unfortunately... such a cool piece!
Very nice! Any one know of any other coloured straps for 5164a Travel time?
Unfortunately I heard the orange strap for the new Aquanaut chrono won’t fit the travel time 5164a...
You should take into account that the straps for the 5167 and 5164 are not exactly the same
Thickness is different between the lugs, so the 5167's strap don't cover totally the case of the 5164 (as the case is taller). You can use it (I've seen it and its not a big deal), but the fit is not perfect.
Sorry but no experience with non-Patek straps
Have bought several but always the original black one for both, 5167 and 5164. I believe that the new orange strap doesn't fit the 5164 because the case of the new chrono is taller.
It's a very cool one!
I knew about it but not that only 12 were made as special order... even cooler!
Rare, but not beautiful
The standard, the rg and the wg blue one are much, much better looking. Judging by this picture only.
can i ask
is it that you say this as just your opinion or is it that you say this as if it is a fact?
I know that people often take my expressions as facts, for some reason
But I can not say "imho" or "in my opinion" all the time I contribute to a post. This place is about opinions.
It looks very sporty. Athletic. Makes this Aquanaut really an outdoor watch.
Watch for adventure and fun. Thanks for sharing! But ill stick it out with the black dial and strap. Cheers! Geross.
I totally agree with Count de Monet´s opinion. Also for me the standard dials of PP are looking much better. This version is rare but not so attractive in my eyes.
As watch collectors very often put too much attention on rarity rather than beauty I wonder how many collectors would be interested in the green dial/strap combo if it would be available without any problem. My bet is that it wouldn´t get a lot of attenti...
Explains
why the green strap was discontinued. No need to stock just for 12 watches, even though, owners were putting the green straps on the black dial watches.
Not discontinued
PP service told me just today the green strap can be ordered (a few weeks lead-time) but that you must present the SE watch to them before they will place the order.
I’ve got the brown...
When I got mine PP offered me a black or brown strap. I took the brown and it brings out the copper brown tones in the dial ...
