Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce Haute Joaillerie 38.8mm 5268/461G-001

Patek Philippe combines “contemporary casual chic” design and Haute Joaillerie in a new white gold Aquanaut Luce model.

The dial center is paved with baguette-cut diamonds and blue sapphires forming a checkerboard pattern recalling the Aquanaut collection’s emblematic pattern. The chapter ring alternates between baguette-cut blue sapphire hour-markers and snow-set brilliant-cut diamonds.

The rounded octagonal bezel is enhanced by a row of baguette-cut sapphires set in a subtle gradient running from light to dark blue. The chromatic harmony is echoed by the integrated strap in dark blue composite material.

This watch is equipped with self-winding 26-330 S caliber, visible through a sapphire crystal case-back.
