Artisans de Genève has once again demonstrated its unparalleled expertise in watch customization with its latest masterpiece: the Patek Phillipe Aquanaut “Eternal Green”. This stunning watch takes the iconic Ref. 5167A Aquanaut and gives it a rich green hue that symbolizes the permanence of life. The “Eternal Green” is a true testament to the craftsmanship and attention to detail that Artisans de Genève is known for, making it a must-have for serious collectors and enthusiasts alike.
At the heart of this custom-made piece is the complex 324 movement, which has been given a PVD coating to give it its striking green color. Artisans de Genève took the customization process to the next level by cutting the movement with a wire to expose the gears and bridges, which were then carefully beveled and polished by hand. This level of craftsmanship not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the watch, but also highlights the quality of craftsmanship that characterizes Artisans de Genève’s work.
The Eternal Green theme extends beyond the movement, with the individual chapter ring also receiving the green PVD treatment. Made from a solid block of brass, the chapter ring was hand-edged before plating to achieve a flawless finish. This attention to detail ensures that every element of the watch harmonizes perfectly, creating a coherent and visually stunning design.
Adding to the appeal of the Eternal Green are the hour, minute and second hands, which are hand-crafted from a block of yellow gold. The warm tones of the gold hands beautifully complement the green tones of the dial and movement, adding a touch of luxury to the watch. To complete the look, the watch is fitted with a bespoke green strap, developed in collaboration with renowned Swiss manufacturer Rubber B. The strap not only matches the aesthetics of the watch, but also offers comfort and durability, making it a practical choice for everyday wear.
The Patek Phillipe Aquanaut “Eternal Green” by Artisans de Genève is more than just a watch – it is a work of art. This limited edition piece is a tribute to life, craftsmanship and the timeless beauty of bespoke watchmaking. For those who appreciate the finer things in life, the “Eternal Green” offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of watchmaking history that will be treasured for generations to come.
