5268/461G – Aquanaut

Automatic winding mechanisms

In the new Aquanaut Luce white gold model, Patek Philippe combines a design in the style of “modern casual chic” and the traditions of High jewelry art.

The center of the dial is lined with baguette-cut diamonds and blue sapphires, forming a checkerboard pattern that resembles Aquanaut’s signature motif. The minute scale is formed by alternating marks of blue baguette-cut sapphires and classic-cut diamonds inlaid in the “snow” fastening technique.

The rounded octagonal bezel is decorated with a row of baguette-cut sapphires, which are arranged in the order of shades from blue to dark blue. The integrated dark blue strap made of composite material highlights the chromatic harmony.

The watch is equipped with a 26-330 S caliber with automatic winding, the details of which can be viewed through the sapphire glass back cover.
