Aquanaut, 5261R, Rose Gold, 2025

Product Description

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5261R is where sporty elegance meets thoughtful complication. Housed in 18k rose gold and scaled to a modern 39.9 mm, it brings quiet presence with a warmth rarely found in sports watches. Its rounded octagonal case blends satin-brushed and polished finishes for a look that’s bold, yet refined.

What makes it special? The first Annual Calendar complication in an Aquanaut—set into play with a layout that feels intuitive, not cluttered. The moon phase graces 12 o’clock, flanked by day and month indications at 9 and 3, with a date window at 6. It’s a complication that needs adjustment only once per year—simple, clever, intelligent.

The blue-grey embossed Aquanaut dial echoes the timeless motif of the collection, while rose gold numerals and hands, filled with white luminescence, keep readability crisp and calm. A matching rubber strap and rose gold folding clasp complete the sporty refinement.

Under the surface hums the automatic Calibre 26-330 S QA LU—with a gold central rotor, annual calendar, moon phase, and a solid 35-45-hour reserve. It’s an engine built for life, not just looks.

As for all the Aquanauts, they are paired with a very comfortable brown composite rubber strap, completed by a high polish butterfly clasp.

Our 2025 example is presented in like new condition with no signs of wear or polishing but some handling marks. The watch comes complete with the 2025 dated paperwork, book pack and original Patek Philippe box.

We welcome viewings in our Knightsbridge showroom.
