Patek Philippe unveiled the Ref 5261R at Watches and Wonder 2023, marking the first Aquanaut housing an annual calendar complication.  The case is crafted in 18k rose gold, measures 39.9mm from 10 to 4 o'clock, a thickness of 10.94mm and presented in a beautiful vertical satin-brushed finish. The matte blue-grey dial adds another dimension to the atheistic and pairs particularly well with the rose gold.

The most complicated Aquanaut (not including the Advanced Research Ref 5650G, which we also have in the collection), the Ref 5261R makes an impact both visually and in terms of complications. By making the size of this watch at 39.9mm, Patek Philippe seemed to have made a conscious decision for this piece to bridge both collections for men (who prefer a slightly smaller watch) and women (who prefer a slightly larger sporty watch).  Either way, this has become a sought-after model and one we are pleased to offer to our clients.
