Patek Philippe, Aquanaut Luce, 7968/300R, Mother of Pearl Rainbow Dial, Flyback Chronograph, Rose Gold, Rainbow Bezel, Red Rubber Strap, 40mm

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce 7968/300R-001 is a rare fusion of high-jewellery artistry and mechanical sophistication, designed for those who appreciate bold elegance and technical refinement.

Its 40mm case is crafted from polished 18k rose gold, combining the distinctive rounded-octagon shape of the Aquanaut line with a luxurious finish that sits confidently on the wrist.

The bezel is set with 40 baguette-cut multicolored sapphires plus 40 baguette-cut diamonds in an “invisible setting,” forming a vibrant rainbow around the dial.

The dial is mother of pearl, engraved with the Aquanaut signature pattern.

Hour markers are rendered as baguette-cut multicolored sapphires, paired with rose gold baton-style hands with luminous coating for clarity and shimmer.

The result is a dial that appears delicate yet luminous, giving the watch a distinctive presence under light.

Inside the case is the self-winding Calibre CH 28-520 flyback chronograph movement.

This advanced movement offers a smooth central chronograph seconds hand, a 60-minute counter, and the convenience of flyback functionality.

It runs with a power reserve of approximately 50–55 hours and features Patek Philippe’s high-standard finishing, visible through the sapphire caseback.

The watch comes fitted with a red composite rubber strap (in keeping with the aquatic-sporty spirit of Aquanaut) and a rose gold fold-over clasp set with diamonds, providing both comfort and secure closure.

Water resistance is rated at 30 metres, preserving the watch’s status as a luxurious but wearable high-jewellery timepiece.

With its combination of rose gold, a mother-of-pearl dial, rainbow gemstone bezel, and a flyback automatic chronograph movement, the 7968/300R-001 stands out as a distinctive statement piece — perfect for those who wish to combine vibrant style with horological excellence.
