Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce Annual Calendar 18K Rose Gold (Ref. 5261R-001) – Full Set
Up for auction is a magnificent masterpiece of modern haute horlogerie: The Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce Annual Calendar in solid 18K rose gold (Reference 5261R-001). Introduced to bring Patek Philippe's legendary patented Annual Calendar complication to the casual-elegant Aquanaut line, this timepiece is highly sought after by collectors worldwide. With its striking blue-gray dial and matching composite strap, it perfectly balances contemporary sporty luxury with complicated mechanical prestige.
Product Highlights:
- Patented Annual Calendar: Features a sophisticated calendar mechanism that automatically recognizes months with 30 and 31 days, requiring only one manual correction per year (at the end of February).
- Inverted Dial Architecture: To optimize visual balance, the calendar displays are inverted—positioning the moon phase at 12 o'clock, the date window at 6 o'clock, and the day/month sub-dials horizontally.
- Aquanaut Emblematic Dial: Beautifully embossed with the signature Aquanaut grid pattern in an elegant, translucent blue-gray hue, complemented by applied rose gold numerals.
- Ultra-Precise Moon Phase: A highly accurate astronomical moon phase display that deviates from the true lunar cycle by merely one day every 122 years.
- Calibre 26-330 S QA LU: An exceptionally thin in-house self-winding movement, visible through the sapphire caseback, featuring a 21K gold central rotor and the prestigious Patek Philippe Seal.
- Aquanaut Composite Strap: Crafted from a high-tech, ultra-resistant composite material that is completely proof against saltwater and UV radiation, fitted with the patented Patek Philippe fold-over clasp.
