This one is an odd, and entirely fabulous duck. Fabulous because look at it, it’s the first annual calendar to grace the Aquanaut range, and in rose gold combined with an almost air-force blue dial and strap, its a very attractive model.
It runs the self winding calibre 26‑330 S QA LU which appears to be specific to this watch and provides 45 hours of power reserve. The dial is well balanced and easy to read with a moon phase at 12, month at 9, day at 3, and the date occupying the space usually dedicated to the 6 market.
The odd part is as follows - this Aquanaut is part of the “Luce” sub-range, which is destined for women.
While I am, and I cannot say this emphatically enough, DELIGHTED to see a watch designed for women that isn’t gem set, and isn’t powered by quartz, and DOES have a complication more sophisticated than a date display - I do wonder why a piece that is a hair shy of 40mm hasn’t been given a unisex designation, not for any other reason than this is a watch that is very likely to appeal to watch lovers across the board, and while my personal preference is to remove biological sex completely from the watch world because people should buy and wear what they love without constraint, there are corners of our universe that will discount an absolute peach due to its designation which is a real shame as this is an excellent size with very comfortable balance and heft regardless of who is wearing it.
If you’re looking for a precious metal piece that has a killer colour scheme and a useful complication, as well as being sized for pretty much any wrist out there, this Aquanaut Luce is going to be hard to beat.

Oscar, I have to say it’s a beautiful watch. Love the combination of rose gold and dark blue dial.
Couldn't agree more! I want one 👀🎯
Lovely watch one day eh, great video Oscar and history.
Beautiful isn’t it!! 🎉
best aquanaut hands down for me!
That's so beautiful that I'd still want it even if Patek designated it solely for chimps
THIS 🤣🤣🤣🎉🎉🎉
a great / beautiful watch
While I totally agree with all you said, and I DO INDEED love the piece - whether it’s a men/women watch doesn’t matter to me because its too small for me - I need the 42mm sized aquanaut.. I would love for them to make this exact one in 42!!
You know what I ALSO AGREE and would absolutely LOVE LOVE to see a 42mm option on this piece, why not make both? Surely also that would be hugely popular?! For my logic of what people like Patek for I think they’d sell out like everything else does! P.s I’ve reviewed the 5164G (new white gold one same colour) on this Channel that might be more up your street 👌
What i heard on the grapevine is they have sold significantly more of these to blokes than women and patek is redoing the marketing. I do wonder if they did this on purpose to generate a bit of buzz.
That’s interesting!!! I certainly think they look good on absolutely everyone 🥳🥳 Thanks for watching! I hope you will join me on the journey, I have SO MUCH content on my channel 🤝🎉
