Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce Haute Joaillerie Rose Gold, Ref. 5062/450R-001

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce Haute Joaillerie ref. 5062/450R-001 is a 38.8 mm ladies’ watch in 18K rose gold, fully set with diamonds across the case, lugs, bezel, dial and clasp. It combines two of Patek Philippe’s most complex gem-setting techniques: invisible setting, where baguette diamonds sit side by side with no visible metal holding them, and snow setting, where brilliant diamonds of different sizes are packed tightly together. The dial alone carries 76 invisible-set baguette diamonds at its center, surrounded by 160 snow-set brilliant diamonds and 12 baguette diamond hour markers, and even the rose gold hands are set with baguettes. In total, the watch uses diamonds in 25 different sizes and cuts, including brilliant, baguette and trapeze. It is powered by a self-winding Patek Philippe movement, visible through the sapphire caseback, and comes on a pearly beige “Tropical” composite strap with a rose gold fold-over clasp set with 10 baguette diamonds. This example is unworn and comes as a full set with box and papers, available on request from SRK Haute Horlogerie.
