Custom Patek Philippe Aquanaut Ref. 5164 Autumn Leaves
Artisans de Genève has unveiled another customised Patek Philippe Aquanaut Ref. 5164, inspired by the colours of autumn leaves. The project stands apart from the Geneva atelier's previous commissions as it marks the first time the company has skeletonised a movement featuring a second time zone display.

Skeletonised Movement
The watch is powered by the Calibre 324, which has been skeletonised while preserving the recognisable layout of the original model.
A defining feature of the design is the pair of metal plates engraved with the inscriptions "Local" and "Home", positioned on either side of the pointer date display. The client, an enthusiastic traveller identified by the initials M. L.V., requested that the original complication remain unchanged while allowing complete creative freedom for the rest of the project.
Transparent Dial and Refined Details
The watch retains its stainless steel case, while one of the most significant modifications is the addition of a sapphire dial, allowing a view of the movement.
The hands have been finished in a rose gold tone and coated with luminous material to improve legibility. The original black rubber strap has been replaced with a deep brown Rubber B® strap.
Customisation Price
The cost of the customisation service, excluding taxes, is CHF 64,520.
