Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce Rainbow 7968/300R

In October 2022, Patek Philippe unveiled its first-ever automatic ladies' chronograph within the contemporary and refined Aquanaut Luce collection.

Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce Rainbow 7968/300R-001, made in rose gold, is specifically tailored to the dynamic women of today. It is distinguished by a meticulously set rainbow array of baguette diamonds and a palette of vibrant sapphires. This chronograph harmoniously fuses a vivacious sports appeal with the expertise of fine jewelry making. It is complemented with three exceptionally robust composite straps in shades of red, matte beige, and matte white.

The 40 mm watch showcases a white mother-of-pearl dial, adorned with the Aquanaut pattern, baguette multi-colored sapphire hour markers, and gold applied numerals.

Furthermore, the watch is embellished with 40 multi-colored sapphires, totaling 2.31 carats, and 40 diamonds totaling 2.05 carats on the bezel. The hour markers include 12 multi-colored sapphires adding up to 0.31 carat. Additionally, there are 10 diamonds, equal to 0.36 carat, on the fold-over clasp. In total, the timepiece houses 52 baguette-cut multi-colored sapphires (2.62 carats) and 50 baguette-cut diamonds (2.41 carats).

Though initially intended for women, this beautiful rainbow timepiece has caught the eye of men as well. It has been spotted on the wrists of several male celebrities and athletes, attesting to its universal appeal.

This timepiece retails for $212,750, but on the secondary market it trades for about $490,000.

Now, let's delve into the details of these celebrities who have been seen flaunting this exquisite timepiece.

Because this watch was meant for women, so the first celebrity that was spotted wearing this Rainbow Patek Philippe watch is the American media personality, socialite, and businesswoman. She is also the mastermind behind the television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

Kris Jenner attended an event with her partner, Corey Gamble, wearing this beautiful watch on her wrist.

Now, as many of you have guessed, I'm also puzzled as to why we see Corey Gamble wearing this watch. I'm not sure whether he owns this piece or if he actually borrowed it from his partner, Kris Jenner. I don’t know who the actual owner of this watch is.

Terence Thomas Kevin O'Leary, also known as Kevin O'Leary or Mr. Wonderful and Maple Man, is a Canadian businessman, investor, journalist, and television personality. From 2004 to 2014, he appeared on various Canadian television shows.

Kevin O’Leary is one of North America’s most successful business entrepreneurs and a star on ABC’s 'Shark Tank,' where he serves as both a business commentator and investor. Known for his blunt, colorful, and matter-of-fact commentary on business issues, ‘Mr. Wonderful’ is truly one-of-a-kind in the world of business commentary.

He is also known as a watch collector and has a particular passion for watches with red bracelets. So, it didn't surprise me to see him on the list of celebrities flaunting this Patek Philippe Aquanaut Luce Rainbow.

Tunku Ismail Idris, the Crown Prince or Tunku Mahkota of Johor, is the heir apparent and the first in line to ascend to the throne of Johor, a state in southern Malaysia that's connected to Singapore by causeways.

In the world of watch enthusiasts, the Crown Prince's passion for watches is renowned, and his collection is nothing short of extraordinary. It's likely filled with a diverse array of timepieces, ranging from brands like MoonSwatch, Rolex, and Patek Philippe to customized creations from the likes of Artisans de Geneve.

Given his evident love for unique and valuable watches, it's no surprise that he owns this rare piece.

Next, we have the Argentinian football star Lionel Messi. During his unveiling at Inter Miami, he was spotted wearing this rose gold Patek Philippe Aquanaut.

I was quite surprised to see him on the list of celebrities spotted wearing this rainbow watch that was meant for ladies. But anyway, it fits him, I guess.

Abdul Al-Romaizan (Ramz), the Saudi entrepreneur known for his innovative contributions to the fashion industry, has recently been spotted wearing this piece. His ownership of this rainbow-hued watch aligns perfectly with his involvement in fashion, where bold and unique style choices are celebrated. It simply makes sense that he would choose to own such a distinctive accessory.

A truly romantic moment unfolded when the Patek Philippe Aquanaut 'Luce Rainbow' 7968/300R met the highly acclaimed Patek Philippe Nautilus 'Tiffany' 5711/1A-018. This encounter took place during the enchanting wedding of Michelle Yeoh and Jean Todt on the picturesque Pangkor Island in Malaysia, Michelle's hometown, in December 2023. 

Michelle's watch is a stunning masterpiece, factory-set with 40 exquisite 'Rainbow' style sapphires adorning the outer bezel, complemented by 40 dazzling diamonds gracing the inner bezel. Additionally, it features 12 more 'Rainbow' style sapphires as hour markers, all elegantly paired with a vibrant red rubber strap. This horological marvel is currently valued at $450,000 in the grey market. 

Jean, on the other hand, sported the iconic Stainless Steel Patek Philippe Nautilus boasting a Tiffany & Co Blue Dial and a Tiffany & Co Stamp, setting it apart as a true collector's gem. Its rarity and prestige command a staggering price of $2,500,000 on the grey market. 
Their watches, much like their love, symbolize timeless elegance and the union of two extraordinary souls.
