In a scintillating move that sets the stage for a bedazzled holiday season, Patek Philippe has revealed a breathtaking lineup of seven new jewelry watches, including a show-stopping Rainbow Minute Repeater. Catering to the surging demand for opulent timepieces, the collection showcases an array of designs, from diamond-studded bezels to pieces adorned with a lavish full setting on every surface.
Aquanaut Luce Collection: A Symphony of Colors and Complications
The highlight of the launch is the Aquanaut Luce “Rainbow” Minute Repeater Haute Joaillerie (ref. 5260/355R-001), a groundbreaking addition to the ladies’ Aquanaut line. This extraordinary timepiece boasts a mesmerizing octagonal bezel adorned with 52 multicolored baguette-cut sapphires and 112 baguette-cut diamonds, creating a captivating rainbow effect. The inner dial is a canvas of invisibly set baguette diamonds, adding an exquisite touch.
As the first grand complication in the ladies’ Aquanaut series, this minute repeater timepiece elevates sophistication to new heights. The baton hands, illuminating in the dark, and the rubber strap, offered in beige, red, and white, underscore the watch’s sporty yet opulent character. Another variant, the bracelet version (ref. 5260/1455R-001), features rainbow sapphires set into the links, with hour and minute hands adorned with rubies and sapphires for an extra flourish. Both versions house the automatic minute repeater caliber R 27, ensuring a harmonious symphony of function and fashion.
Nautilus Haute Joaillerie: Exquisite Elegance in Full Bloom
Patek Philippe’s Nautilus Haute Joaillerie lineup introduces three fully set models (references 7118/1451G-001, 7118/1452G-001, and 7118/1453G-001) that seamlessly blend diamonds with vibrant sapphires, rubies, or emeralds. These masterpieces boast a staggering 1,500 brilliant-cut diamonds, ranging from 6.53 carats, intricately snow-set to create an enchanting composition that minimizes visible metal between gems.
The 18k white gold cases and bracelets, adorned with the signature wave motif, enhance the allure of the ladies’ Nautilus collection. Housing the automatic caliber 26-330 S, these timepieces ensure precision and elegance. For added security, the bracelets feature fold-over clasps secured by four independent catches, a testament to Patek Philippe’s commitment to both style and functionality.
Completing the Nautilus lineup are two references featuring purple lacquered dials in the iconic wave pattern. One variant, paired with an 18k rose gold bracelet, is priced at $56,183, while the other, with a composite material rubber strap, comes in at $39,624. As Patek Philippe unwraps this stunning collection, the holiday shopping season is set to sparkle with unparalleled luxury and craftsmanship. Prices for specific models available upon request.
