Aquanaut Luce Quartz Stainless Steel / Khaki

In Context

At 38.8 mm it sits just under the modern norm — the band that suits the widest spread of wrists. The 7.9 mm case is genuinely slim and goes under a shirt cuff without argument. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 120 m is genuine swimming resistance — more than the shape of this watch suggests it would need.

It is quartz, so it will hold time far more closely than any mechanical watch here, and asks for a battery every few years rather than a service.

5267/200A-011 is one of 3 executions of the 5267/200A base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a green matte dial and a stainless steel case. Introduced in 2021.

The E23-250 S C is Patek Philippe's quartz movement with a date and sweep seconds, for the ladies' Nautilus and Aquanaut. It powers 22 watches in this library. It is 23.9 mm across and 2.5 mm high with 80 parts and 8 jewels, and it gives the 32 mm Nautilus 7010 and the Aquanaut Luce the sports watches' dials, with the date at 3 o'clock and a centre seconds, without a mechanical movement the smallest cases could not hold at the same thickness. It is finished to Patek's standard behind a closed back. In the library it powers 13 [Nautilus](/brands/patek-philippe/nautilus) 7010 references at 32 mm, in rose gold and steel with diamond bezels, and 9 [Aquanaut](/brands/patek-philippe/aquanaut) Luce references at 35.6 mm and 38.8 mm. The [324 S C](/calibers/patek-philippe-324-s-c) is the automatic of the 35.2 mm Nautilus 7118 and the mechanical Aquanaut Luce, and the [E15](/calibers/patek-philippe-e15) the smaller quartz movement of the Twenty~4.

21 other watches in the library run the Patek Philippe E23-250 S C.
