Patek Philippe revisits the sporty style of the Aquanaut chronograph in a rose gold version, paired with a sunburst brown dial featuring a black-gradient rim and matching composite strap.
The original design of the case (water-resistant to 30 m) and the bezel is highlighted by the alternating polished and satin-brushed finishes.
The self-winding flyback chronograph movement combines tradition (column wheel drive) with innovation (vertical disk clutch). Since the clutch causes almost no wear, the central chronograph seconds hand can also be used to display the seconds continuously.
The TORIC Chronographe Rattrapante heart is crafted in 18ct rose gold. This integrated movement is a “racing machine” which beats at a high frequency (5Hz) and incorporates a double column wheel. Its structural elements are skeletonized and suggest an arabesque, leaving ample room for visual appreciation of its moving components.
