Description
At Patek Philippe, complicated watches for ladies are a venerable tradition. Long ago, the company introduced repeaters in delicate feminine formats that announced the time with gentle sounds as a very uncommon and unique musical diversion. More recently, the growing appetite among women for complex mechanical watches was sated with moon-phase displays, a second time zone, or the Annual Calendar in seductive timepieces for ladies. Now, during the introduction of the 21st century, Patek Philippe presents the first Grand Complication for ladies: the ultra-thin Ladies First split-seconds monopusher chronograph Ref. 7059.
The brisk global demand for wrist chronographs quickly made the transition into the ladies’ watch segment. Patek Philippe responded in 2009 with the “Ladies First Chronograph” Ref. 7071R; it was endowed with the manufacture’s new chronograph caliber before the men’s model was launched. This new chapter opens with a strikingly sophisticated, and seductively beautiful ladies’ watch that incorporates a split-seconds chronograph; because of its mechanical intricacy, it ranks among the so-called Grand Complications. The progress of a split-seconds chronograph with column-wheel control in the format of an sophisticated ladies’ wristwatch is a venture for which Patek Philippe is clearly predestined: after all, its portfolio of movements includes the caliber CH R 27-525 PS, the thinnest column-wheel splitseconds chronograph in the world. The caliber number suggests its dimensions: Diameter 27.3 mm, height 5.25 mm. A caliber of this small size fits in a case that looks very ladylike on a slender feminine wrist. The elegant rose-gold case with 226 diamonds will delight every woman, as will the mechanical marvel that quietly ticks beneath its dial.
This beautiful chronograph is crafted individually by the hands of a master watchmaker. Patek Philippe can only produce very few pieces of the Ref. 7059 Ladies First split-seconds chronograph per year. This makes them all the more tempting as cherished companions for women who are attracted to watchmaking prowess at its very finest.
