The Aquanaut men's collection now welcomes a new version of the chronograph. In fact, Patek Philippe is declining the case of the Aquanaut Chronograph for the first time in white gold, combining it with two coloured dial variants with matching bracelets: an elegant midnight blue shaded black on the dial (Ref. 5968G-001) and a bold khaki green (Ref. 5968G-010). The harmonious integration of the chronograph into the Aquanaut design, emphasised by the alternating polished and satin finishes on the case, bezel and pushers, creates a striking aesthetic. The watch is powered by the self-winding flyback chronograph calibre CH 28-520 C, which combines tradition (column-wheel drive) and innovation (vertical disc coupling). The 42.2 mm case is water-resistant to 120 metres. The integrated ultra-resistant composite strap is equipped with a patented folding clasp, secured by four independent attachment points. These two new models join Ref. 5968A-001 in steel in the collection. In addition, after more than fifteen years, Patek Philippe intervenes on the design of the Aquanaut Luce for ladies, enlarging its case (the diameter is now increased to 38.8 mm) and equipping it with a new integrated strap made of composite material. The Aquanut Luce is offered with a steel (Ref. 5267/200A) or pink gold (Ref. 5268/200R) case, and with different dial colours to match the strap. The Aquanaut Luce line for ladies now also welcomes a new model with a second time-zone display and quartz movement (Ref. 5269/200R). Presented in 1997, the Aquanaut is a watch with a very marked character that has travelled through time without losing any of its audacity. The case and rounded octagonal bezel, inspired by the Nautilus, are distinguished by their instantly recognisable shapes, characterised by alternating polished and satin finishes. The dial and strap display matching colours and are both decorated with a damier motif in relief, giving the watch an original and dynamic touch. Another distinctive feature is the hi-tech composite strap, which is water-resistant, comfortable and pleasant to the touch, and is distinguished by its excellent resistance to traction, wear, salt water and UV rays. The new Aquanaut Luce with its steel case and diamonds on the bezel is offered in three dial colours to match the strap: black (Ref. 5267/200A-001), matt white (Ref. 5267/200A-010) and khaki green (Ref. 5267/200A-011). Water-resistant to 120 metres, it houses the Patek Philippe quartz calibre E 23-250 S C, the finishing of which is crafted with the same care as the manufacture's mechanical movements. The bezel with polished bevels is illuminated by 48 Top Wesselton Pur brilliant-cut diamonds (approximately 1.11 carats). The new Aquanaut Luce Ref. 5267/200A replaces all previous 5067 models. The Aquanaut Luce with its self-winding mechanical movement and pink gold case, water-resistant to 120 metres, stands out for its contrasting polished and satin-finished finishes. The emblematic rounded octagonal bezel with polished bevels is embellished with a row of 48 Top Wesselton Pur diamonds (approximately 1.11 carats). The matt white dial with embossed Aquanaut motif is embellished with applied pink gold Arabic numerals and baton hands, also in pink gold and with a luminescent coating. The movement used is the calibre 26-330 S C, mechanical with automatic winding. The company also introduced the Aquanaut Luce Travel Time for ladies (Ref. 5269/200R). In developing this new model, Patek Philippe was inspired by its ingenious Travel Time dual time-zone mechanism. However, to preserve the elegance and refinement of the Aquanaut Luce, the manufacture has reinterpreted this function by introducing two innovations: a new quartz movement (calibre E 23-250 S FUS 24H), combined with a discreet and practical crown adjustment system. The 38.8 mm-diameter pink gold case, fitted with a push-piece crown (to allow the Travel Time function to be used in a practical and discreet manner), is water-resistant to 60 metres.
