This 35.6mm 18k rose gold timepiece is valued for its factory gem-setting, featuring a bezel set with 40 baguette-cut diamonds and 40 sapphires in a multi-color gradient. It utilizes the self-winding Caliber 324 S C, a movement also found in larger Nautilus and Aquanaut models, providing a 45-hour power reserve and a date complication. The dial features the embossed Aquanaut pattern in white with applied gold numerals. On the secondary market, this reference typically trades in the mid-to-high six-figure range, often exceeding $250,000 depending on condition and the presence of original documentation. While the 5068R was marketed as a ladies' model, its mechanical movement and 35.6mm diameter have led to increased crossover interest among collectors of mid-sized sports watches."}, "listing_stats": {"count": 0, "median": 0, "low": 0, "high": 0}, "listings": [], "auction_lots": [{"slug": "patek-aquanaut-luce-rainbow", "brand": "Patek Philippe", "reference": "5068R", "model": "Aquanaut Luce Rainbow", "case_material": "18k Rose Gold", "hammer_usd": 478000, "year_sold": 2023, "venue": "Phillips New York", "lot_summary": "Limited rainbow-set bezel Luce model.
