The reference 5261R-001 is a 39.5mm 4N rose gold case that houses the automatic annual calendar in-house Caliber 26-330 S QA LU. The “eared” case has a mix of flat brushed and curvaceous polished finishing the Aquanaut line is known for — and the Nautilus, for that matter. It features a new primary color for Patek Philippe on the dial and fitted rubber strap: a matte-cloudy blue-gray that shifts from a pale sky blue to a muted monochromatic gray, depending on the light. The pairing of blue-gray and a 4N rose gold case, which is slightly more yellow than your standard 5N rose gold, is a bit unorthodox but so is an intentionally non-gender-specific Aquanaut. Not surprisingly, the color combination works wonderfully to yield a modern and elegant result in the metal. Patek generally keeps its precious metals allocated to specific collections, with 5N rose gold for men and 4N rose gold for women. However, while going hands-on with the new releases and seeing the 5N rose gold models simultaneously, it is obvious that the choice of a more yellow-tone gold case was the correct one.
