The Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce 5268/200R-010 embodies a perfect union of modern design and technical excellence. Introduced in 2021, this self-winding timepiece is housed in 18K rose gold, enriched by a taupe-colored dial and matching strap, and is designed for men who value innovation, sophistication, and performance.
Whether paired with a tailored suit or resort wear, this piece is a bold yet elegant statement of refined taste.
Exceptional Design and Finishing
The 38.8 mm rose gold case combines polished and satin-brushed surfaces, resulting in a finish that’s as dynamic as it is refined. The rounded octagonal bezel, an Aquanaut hallmark, is set with 48 flawless diamonds (~1.11 ct), enhancing the watch with subtle brilliance. The embossed taupe dial mirrors the texture of the strap and features gold-applied numerals and luminescent hands, ensuring clarity in all lighting conditions.
Movement and Precision
At its core is the Caliber 26-330 S C, a self-winding mechanical movement recognized for its accuracy and reliability. Operating at 28,800 vibrations/hour (4 Hz) and featuring a stop-seconds mechanism, it allows for precise time setting. With a power reserve of 35 to 45 hours, it’s built for everyday wear, whether at sea or in the city.
Functional Elegance
Beyond its aesthetics, the 5268/200R-010 offers 120 meters of water resistance, making it ideal for swimming and light marine activity. Its central sweep seconds hand and date aperture at 3 o’clock add daily utility without disrupting the dial’s elegance.
