Key Specifications

Blue-grey dial, navy strap and rose gold tone case: this is the Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5261R-001 Annual Calendar as a super clone, with moon phase, month and weekday displays. This Aquanaut Luce 5261R rose gold tone replica is the reference 5261R-001, a 39.9mm Annual Calendar from the Aquanaut Luce series in rose gold. The 5261R-001 merges three distinct elements that rarely appear in one watch: the Aquanaut sport case, annual calendar complication, and the Luce moon phase display at 12. The annual calendar mechanism tracks day, date, and month automatically, requiring manual correction only once per year on March 1st. At 39.9mm, this reference occupies a size between the 38.8mm Luce time-only models and the 42.2mm chronographs. Rose gold construction throughout the case adds weight and presence, while the tropical composite strap maintains the Aquanaut’s signature comfort.

Design & Finishing

Day and month are read from subdials at 3 and 9, the date from a window at 6 and the moon phase at 12. Rose-gold-tone Arabic numerals and luminous batons add a layer of refinement to the sport-calendar concept.

Who It’s For

The 5261R-001 speaks to anyone who wants a sport watch that goes well beyond telling time. The annual calendar complication places this reference closer to the Complications collection in mechanical terms, while the Aquanaut case and strap keep it firmly in sport territory. Very few watches combine these elements in a single package. Browse our Aquanaut collection to see how this annual calendar model fits alongside the chronograph and time-only references. This Aquanaut Luce 5261R replica represents the most complication-rich piece in the Aquanaut Luce range.
