The emancipation of complicated watches
For many years, Patek Philippe has observed a trend that has added considerable momentum to the manufacture's best traditions. It involves a stronger focus on complicated and extremely complicated timepieces and acknowledges the fact that all levels of complications have become more and more appealing to women.
Ladies have always had a penchant for perpetuity and lasting value. They are fond of jewelry and especially in the past ten years have professed a growing interest in complicated mechanical calibers. What could better nurture their predilection than a Patek Philippe perpetual calendar?
The new Ref. 7140 Ladies First Perpetual Calendar is an ultra-thin self-winding mechanical wristwatch featuring a calendar mechanism that automatically knows the number of days in each month and also correctly displays the 29th of February in leap years. Its timelessly elegant design, the precious array of flawless Top Wesselton diamonds (bezel with 68 diamonds totaling approx. 0.68 ct., clasp with 27 diamonds totaling approx. 0.20 ct.) as well as the lasting value of complicated Patek Philippe watches make this charismatic gem for the feminine wrist a treasured possession that will retain its contemporary allure for generations to come. With a diameter of 35.1 mm and a height of 8.8 mm, the round case has a classic look in form and proportions that will outlast all mainstream fashion fads. Thanks to these virtues and the highly intricate, self-winding mechanical movement composed of 275 parts, Patek Philippe's Ref. 7140 Ladies First Perpetual Calendar is a coveted possession for modern women who cherish inner values as much as they appreciate outward grace.
