Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce Annual Calendar 5261R, Unisex, Blue-Grey Color Theme

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce ref. 5261R is a stunning addition to the Luce ladies' collection but has a universal appeal as a unisex watch. Made of 18K rose gold, the 39.9 mm case showcases a polished and satin-brushed finish, complementing the blue-gray dial. The dial features the iconic Aquanaut pattern and a practical layout with Arabic numerals and white transfers for excellent readability.





The watch incorporates an Annual Calendar complication, which only requires manual correction once a year at the end of February. The dial includes a month indicator at 9 o'clock, a day of the week at 3 o'clock, a moon phase indicator at 12 o'clock, and a date aperture at 6 o'clock. Inside the watch is the automatic calibre 26‑330 S QA LU, a 319-part movement with a 21K gold oscillating weight and a power reserve of 45 hours.




When worn, the Aquanaut Luce ref. 5261R feels true to its size, slightly larger than the vintage Aquanaut reference 5065. The blue-gray rubber strap with the Aquanaut pattern matches the dial perfectly and pays homage to the colored straps of the vintage models. The combination of the warm rose gold case and the blue-gray color scheme creates a visually appealing watch.
