Patek Philippe
For the first time, Patek Philippe has introduced the Annual Calendar into the Aquanaut collection and has notably chosen to do so in a ladies’ watch. Women want more complications, says Patek Philippe, and the brand is meeting this demand with the Aquanaut Luce Annual Calendar Reference 5261R-001, which is equipped with the new self-winding 26-330 S QA LU caliber. Crafted in rose gold with a blue-grey dial, it is the first Aquanaut Luce not set with any gems; it features an inverted display for the day at 3 o’clock, the month at 9 o’clock, and the moon phase at 12 o’clock. While it is part of the ladies’ collection, at 39.9mm, the Aquanaut Luce Annual Calendar possesses a unisex appeal.
