The Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce Haute Joaillerie 5268/461G-001 is a horological jewel that unites contemporary design with exceptional gem-setting artistry. Crafted in 18K white gold and adorned with 72 baguette-cut sapphires and 198 diamonds, this masterpiece redefines modern sport-luxury elegance with its checkerboard dial and brilliant gradient bezel.
A timepiece created for those who demand uncompromising sophistication, it seamlessly blends haute joaillerie with precision mechanics—making it an extraordinary addition to any collector’s ensemble.
Sophisticated Design & Rare Craftsmanship
Measuring 38.8 mm in diameter, the white gold case is crowned with 40 baguette-cut sapphires arranged in a seamless gradient of blues (~3.6 ct), while the lugs shine with 8 baguette-cut diamonds (~0.58 ct). The dial is a dazzling checkerboard of 20 baguette-cut sapphires (~1.13 ct) and 20 baguette-cut diamonds (~1.12 ct). The chapter ring sparkles with 160 brilliant-cut diamonds (~0.71 ct) in a snow setting, and the hour markers alternate between 12 baguette-cut sapphires (~0.56 ct).
Completing the look is a dark blue composite strap with a white gold fold-over clasp, set with an additional 10 baguette-cut diamonds (~0.33 ct).
Movement & Performance
Inside beats the Caliber 26-330 S, a self-winding mechanical movement offering a minimum 45-hour power reserve. Operating at 28,800 vibrations/hour (4 Hz), it provides both daily reliability and refined finishing, visible through its sapphire-crystal caseback.
