Sergio Ramos – Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time in pink gold

PSG’s Spanish defender Sergio Ramos, regarded as one of the best of all time, is lifting the Ligue 1 trophy after another French league title and wearing the 41mm Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time in pink gold. The model features a brown embossed chronograph dial with gold numerals and a dual time zone mechanism on a brown rubber strap.

Watch Description

Patek Philippe recently introduced a new version in the regular line that combines two extremely popular complexities in a single watch as a first huge surprise at Baselworld in 2016. The Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time, which had previously only been offered in stainless steel, is now also accessible in 18K pink gold, as shown at Baselworld.

The Aquanaut Travel Time, a sister to the steel version, is now returning onstage with the lovely warming of pink gold and a brown dial. A self-winding mechanism is included in this really useful travel partner. The two dials on the left-hand casing edge can be used to advance or backward in one-hour intervals the local-time hour hand. In addition, the date is accompanied by a time indicator in the local time zone.

Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time’s gorgeous brown engraved dial on the latest pink gold edition nicely matches the tropical brown rubber band, including a double-folding clip. The casing, which is 41mm in diameter, features a satin-brushed finishing as well as mirror refined edges on the bezel. The brown dial and the 18K pink gold casing blend together to create an amazing-looking clock. The timepiece can withstand a depth of 120 meters.

The date is indicated in an exquisite manner on the lower portion of the timepiece. To complement the casing, the hands, as well as Arabic numerals, are also pink gold. For better readability in the darkness or poor light, the Arabic numerals are packed with illuminating material. The vivid printing of the hourly markers, date scale, and other details matches the Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time’s sporting attitude.

On the other hand, the Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time is driven by the mechanical movement caliber 324 S C FUS. It features a double-time zone system that displays local and home time, as well as local and “home” day/night signals in windows and a hand-wound local date. The movement has 294 components and 29 jewels, and it beats at a rate of 28,800 vph for a 45-hour power reserve. Furthermore, the movement is entirely visible through the back of the display casing.

On the wrist, the piece appears to be the same size as it is on paper, if not a millimeter larger. The wrist appearance is just out of this world, and it looks a lot better, unlike the stainless steel version.

Overall, the pink gold Patek Philippe Aquanaut Travel Time is not a timepiece for everybody. Of course, it is still a great piece. Besides, the case’s design, sporty personality, and pink gold may appeal to a wide range of people.
