New Patek Philippe luxury watch collection

　　Grand Complication watches that radiate feminine charm

　　The strong global demand for chronographs has shifted rapidly towards the ladies' watch segment. In response, Patek Philippe launched the Ref. 7071r Ladies First Chronograph in 2009: it was equipped with the same chronograph movement asMen's watchesthe priority of previous releases. This elegant, stunning, and beautiful split-seconds chronograph for women has opened a new chapter. Due to its complex mechanical functions, it is classified as a Grand Complication watch. The column-wheel-controlled ladies' split-seconds chronograph was destined to be a bold venture for Patek Philippe: after all, the watch features the CH R 27-525 PS movement and the world's thinnest column-wheel split-seconds chronograph mechanism. The movement model reveals its dimensions: 27.3 mm in diameter and 5.25 mm in thickness. This compact movement is perfectly suited for a delicate female wrist when housed in its case. The elegant rose gold case, set with 226 diamonds, combined with the precision mechanics beneath the dial, is enough to captivate any woman.

　　Designed for the urban woman: the world's thinnest split-seconds chronograph

　　Confident, elegant women who drive high-end sports cars or SUVs are no longer as rare as they once were. It is common for female consumers to pay close attention to variable transmission systems or dual-clutch gearboxes, so it is no surprise that they pursue complex mechanical watches. They are well-versed in modern technology and understand how to utilise the various timing functions of mechanical watches. The Patek Philippe Ref. 7059 Ladies First split-seconds chronograph features a mechanical movement that held the world record for the thinnest movement for six consecutive years, which they will surely appreciate. The CH R 5.25 PS movement, at only 27-525 mm thick, is the world's thinnest column-wheel-controlled split-seconds chronograph mechanism, and thanks to numerous patented innovations, it is the most advanced traditional chronograph movement. Patek Philippe spares no effort in reducing the size of the movement while ensuring its exceptional timekeeping accuracy and reliability remain unaffected. The novel tooth profile of the chronograph gears improves power transmission efficiency while reducing friction and wear. The friction-driven minute counter not only reduces the thickness of the movement but also balances the torque difference between the coupled and uncoupled states of the chronograph mechanism, ensuring the amplitude of the balance wheel remains stable in all operating modes. The manual winding mechanism features a newly designed tooth profile, providing a distinct, smooth response to the fingertips during winding—a sensation known to insiders as the "velouté Patek," or "velvety Patek." This delightful tactile experience perfectly complements its feminine exterior.

　　A combination of rose gold and diamonds with irresistible charm

　　The case of this rare Grand Complication ladies' watch blends classic design, traditional artistry, feminine elegance, and true allure. The Ref. 7059 Ladies First split-seconds chronograph features a distinctive officer-style case, with straight lugs and screw-in strap bars that reflect its classic and traditional side. The soft, romantic hue of the 18k (4n) rose gold, combined with the 153 flawless Top Wesselton diamonds (approx. 0.72 carats) set on the bezel, highlights another facet of the watch's feminine charm. Admiring these two rows of brilliant diamonds, one can believe that the jeweller's superb skill—in selection, layout, and setting—adds an extra layer of complexity. The watch's matte cream dial also indicates that the mechanical movement within is an "extraordinary device." The Breguet numerals and all hands, including the chronograph and split-seconds hands, are crafted from 18k rose gold. The minute hand, small seconds hand, and 60-minute totaliser scale are all printed in rose gold. The exquisite appearance of the dial complements the complex manufacturing techniques of the watch. Through the single button on the comfortable fluted crown, one can simultaneously start the slender chronograph and split-seconds hands, press the button at the 2 o'clock position to stop the split-seconds hand, press it again to allow the split-seconds hand to catch up to the chronograph hand, and finally reset both hands to zero—the Grand Complication of the watch is revealed in full. This delicate ballet of chronograph mechanics is sure to win the heart of every woman.

　　The sapphire crystal case back of this watch is set with 76 flawless Top Wesselton diamonds (approx. 0.40 carats), fully showcasing extraordinary watchmaking craftsmanship. The two column wheels feature polished dome caps, which are among Patek Philippe's most revered traditions. It features beautifully decorated hand-bevelled edges and Geneva stripes. The transparent case back reflects elegant components and "traditional" (à l'ancienne) bridges, where the inward angles must be finished by hand—a technique that often requires special skills and years of experience. Such movements can never be produced on an assembly line; they must bewatchmakerscrafted one by one by hand. Consequently, the number of Ref. 7059 Ladies First split-seconds chronographs produced by Patek Philippe each year is very limited, making them even more rare and highly prized by women who love exceptional watchmaking.

     Perfect sapphire, classic, flawless 76 top-tier diamonds, each approx. 0.40 carats. This high-end model completely transcends the traditional charm of Patek Philippe. Owning this high-end model is a symbol of status and fashion.
