Patek Philippe First Self-Winding Aquanaut Luce “Rainbow” Chronograph for Women

It’s not just the Nautilus and Grand Complications that have received some love in Patek Philippe recent spate of releases. There’s also a new Replica Aquanaut Luce ‘Rainbow’ Chronograph called the Ref. 7968/300R-001, which is the first model in the ladies’ collection to feature a self-winding chronograph.

It’s a pretty spectacular watch to take in. It has a 39.9mm case made from rose gold with a gem-set bezel featuring a double row of baguette diamonds and coloured sapphires in rainbow. This is one of the largest dedicated ladies’ Cheap Patek Philippe Aquanauts Replica we’ve seen from Patek, building on the Ref. 5268/200R from last year that increased the case size of the Aquanaut Luce automatic from 35.6mm to 38.8mm. It might have the label Luce, but in reality, it should be labelled a hip hop dream.

Another feature worthy of note is the fact the Aquanaut Luce ‘Rainbow’ Chronograph Ref. 7968/300R-001 Replica Watches houses a serious horological movement while the majority of the Aquanaut Luce collection is quartz. Specifically, this is the first ever Aquanaut Luce self-winding chronograph, powered by the Calibre CH 28-520 with central flyback chronograph hand and 60-minute timer at 6 o’clock.

Between the 50 diamonds, 52 sapphires and rose gold case, the Patek Philippe Replica Aquanaut Luce ‘Rainbow’ Chronograph. For that kind of money there are plenty of other watches that are just as spectacular, but when it comes to gem-set drip with the Patek Philippe name, the Ref. 7968/300R-001 is right up there.

The Most Underrated Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse Watch

Anticipating a change in watch tastes, Cheap Patek Philippe Replica prophetically released the Golden Ellipse in a move that would hint at the Nautilus, but today the ‘divine proportion’ of the dress watch classic is often overlooked.Most have historically been created the same, with svelte round cases and silvered or champagne-coloured dials, the kind that most guys have squirrelled away for when they break out the dinner jacket. In the 1960s however, watch tastes were beginning to change.

The beginnings of mass production at this point meant that watches in general were getting cheaper, with the inkling of what we’d today call fashion watch brands offering cheap, but decidedly not cheap-looking timepieces. Mostly though, at least in dress Patek Philippe Replica Watches, they stuck to that 50s template; round with a silver dial.

The gorgeous curve of the Golden Ellipse is satisfyingly beautiful and matches the 1/1.6181 ratio the ‘divine proportion’ is mathematically expressed as. It’s definitely the most likely of the two theories. However, I prefer the other, that it was taken from an airplane window’s view of an American highway, if only because it ties nicely into the porthole shape of the Nautilus a few years later.

Impressive as the case was however, it was just one part of the original Ellipse’s success. What might at first look like a standard sunray blue dial is far from it. This being Patek’s take on modern luxury, the dial was actually made from blue gold. Today blue is a rarity; then it was unheard of.

You get blue gold by plating solid gold with a mix of cobalt and 24K gold, which is easier said than done. You can’t just use an electric bath like gilding a movement. Instead AAA Patek Philippe Replica had to use a cutting-edge technique of vacuum plating. The result was worth it. With simple hour markers, the dial spoke for itself with the surety of a confident orator.

It’s coming back into prominence a little with the resurgence in watchmaking of all things 70s, but most modern buyers still gravitate towards the myriad Patek Philippe Calatrava Replica models instead. Perhaps they’re more confident with the standard circular shape, perhaps it’s simply that the Calatrava is more of a core part of Patek Philippe. It could be something as simple as the small, 34.5mm diameter.

With party season here the dress replica watches are out, and if you’re looking for the perfect finishing touch to your midnight blue dinner jacket, then there’s none better than this.

Patek Philippe: Highlights, Trends, and Predictions in 2022

Trending Patek Philippe Models

With a brand that’s known for its innovations and forward-thinking, it can be challenging to predict what the Cheap Patek Philippe Replica year ahead will look like — but that doesn’t mean we can’t try.

The Nautilus

Patek Philippe Nautilus Moonphase 5712 1A

A green dial model, ref. 5711/1a-014, and a Tiffany blue model, ref. 5711/1a-018, marked the end of a 16-year production run for the Nautilus 5711.

Despite this sad goodbye, models like the Patek Philippe Nautilus Replica Watches 5990, 5726, and 5712 remain in production. These references will be forced to share more publicity and emphasis with other Patek Philippe collections like the Calatrava dress watches and Aquanaut sports watches.

The Aquanaut

Patek Philippe Aquanaut ref. 5167A-001

With or without a matching steel bracelet, the Aquanaut 5167 is the only game in town for Swiss Replica Watches For Sale collectors seeking a simple sports watch from Patek Philippe — which is why we’re including it on our list of top-selling Aquanauts this year.

With the 25th anniversary of the Aquanaut happening, there is room for Patek to launch a new model — perhaps a 6167A — to carry the mantle of Patek sports watches after the 5711. A new movement, a new bracelet, new dial colors, and a new reference all could energize the now quarter-century-old Aquanaut model line.

The Calatrava

Patek Philippe reference 96 Quality Replica Watches was the first watch launched under the Sterns, the first Patek to have a reference number, and — retroactively — the Patek Philippe 96 became the first model in what came to be called the “Calatrava” family of dress watches.

Patek Philippe has announced its intention to discontinue the Calatrava 5196 for 2022, so a successor model may arrive soon. But, before any new reference can take its place, many 1:1 Replica Watches will likely be enticed by the collection’s existing dress watches that showcase a similar spirit to the beloved 5196.
