Description
Step into the world of exclusive modification with the ZF Factory’s Patek Philippe Aquanaut “Black Venom”, a bold reinterpretation of the iconic Aquanaut 5167. More than a watch, this is a statement—crafted for those who defy convention.
Key Features:
– Case: Measuring 40mm in diameter, the case is treated with a high-performance DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating. This deep matte-black surface is scratch-resistant, highly durable, and nearly as hard as diamond. Unlike traditional PVD coatings, DLC leaves minimal magnetic residue and is non-reversible—reflecting true stealth and permanence.
– Dial: The signature Aquanaut checkerboard textured dial remains intact, now enhanced by the blacked-out case. The clean Arabic numeral layout is retained, while the lumed hands and markers ensure visibility in all conditions. The black-on-black motif is subtly disrupted by a white date display at 3 o’clock, maintaining utility without compromising style.
– Movement: Powered by the custom-built integrated Super Clone Cal.324, this model mirrors the structure and visual aesthetics of the original Patek movement. Its precise automatic winding, hacking seconds, and 28,800 VPH sweep reflect ZF’s dedication to internal refinement and reliability.
– Strap & Buckle: Comes fitted with a white tropical-style natural rubber strap, delivering bold contrast against the stealth-black case. Paired with a DLC-coated steel deployant clasp, the strap ensures ergonomic comfort and secure wrist presence.
– Crystal: Features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating, allowing the intricate dial to remain the focal point from all angles.
– Caseback: Although visually simplified, the caseback is fully sealed and built with the same ZF precision, offering reliable everyday durability.
– Water Resistance: Assembled with gasket-sealed crown and back structure, the watch is splash-resistant for daily use, designed with practicality and edge in mind.
Each unit of the “Black Venom” is individually finished, and due to the complexity of the DLC treatment, each case takes 5 to 8 weeks to complete. This time-intensive process ensures every piece is a truly unique luxury rebel.
ZF’s “Black Venom” isn’t just a modded Aquanaut—it’s a symbol of identity, defiance, and craftsmanship. Own more than a watch. Own the edge.
