The Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce Annual Calendar 5261 super clone in this version pairs a steel case with a white-gold look and a dark dial that fades from black at the centre to grey at the rim. White Arabic numerals frame the embossed grid, with a blue moon disc under 12, day and month subdials at 3 and 9 and the date at 6. Patek makes the 39.9 mm 5261 only as the 5261R-001 in 18k rose gold with a blue-grey dial, so this steel and black watch is a factory variant of that design.

Black Steel 5261 vs Rose Gold 5261R: Which Annual Calendar Replica?

Every 5261 we stock shares the 39.9 mm case, the four calendar displays and the same clone calibre, so only case tone and dial colour change. The rose gold tone version with a blue-grey dial follows the single colourway Patek launched in 2023. Among the steel-look versions, this one is the darkest, darker than the grey and the green. Choose rose gold tone for the original look, black steel if you want the calendar to stay discreet.

Will the annual calendar on this 5261 clone handle short months by itself?

Do not rely on it. The clone reproduces the day, month, date and moon displays, and you set them with the correctors on the case side; the genuine Patek calibre needs a manual correction only once a year, at the end of February. Ask us for a function video if the calendar matters to you.

Is a steel 5261 Aquanaut fake a real Patek version?

No. Patek lists the Aquanaut Luce Annual Calendar only as the 5261R-001 in rose gold, and no 5261R-004 exists; this steel and black version is a factory variant on the same layout.

Other 5261 annual calendar versions in stock: the rose gold tone 5261 with the original blue-grey dial, the steel-look 5261 with a dark grey dial and the steel-look 5261 in green. See the full Patek Philippe Aquanaut replica collection.
