Clark is right that launchApplication: is better.

As for the spaces, you don't need to use any backslash or anything, just
type the path as it is.

However, be aware that hardcoding the path like that is not so good,
when/if Apple moves/renames System Preferences your code will break.  It
would be better to find System Preferences by its CFBundleIdentifier or
CFBundleSignature, which will never change and are unique.  You can
probably do that with Launch Services.
