Patek Philippe Grand Complications 5260

Patek Philippe's Aquanaut Luce 5260/1455R-001 is a 38.8 mm rose gold Grand Complications watch made for Haute Joaillerie work rather than daily wear. The case measures 10.7 mm thick and is set with diamonds, with multicoloured sapphires added across the caseband and bracelet using an invisible setting. Beneath the gems sits a guilloché dial plate on an 18K gold base. The self-winding calibre R 27 drives the watch, with a minute repeater sounding on two classic gongs and a 22K gold minirotor visible through the sapphire crystal case back. Power reserve runs to a minimum of 43 hours. The rose gold bracelet closes with a matching folding clasp set with sapphires. Given the gem-set construction, the case is protected against humidity and dust only, with no water resistance rating.
