Description
To mark its 175th anniversary Patek Philippe released a collection of limited edition watches, comprised of four models, one grand complication, chronographs worldtimes and an hour striker with jumping hour.
Made available to their best customers only.
The ladies were not forgotten, and this model reference 7175R-001 has a 38mm rose gold case set with diamonds.
The World Time Moon’s main complication is combined with an oversized moon phase on a night starry sky.
Notably on the external city disc we notice Geneva replaces Paris as Central European Time and another subtle design touch is the curving of the lugs that gives a distinctive structure to the case flank
The automatic-winding 240 HU LU movement is not visible because the solid case back is engraved with « Patek Philippe Geneve 175e Anniversaire 1839-2014 » inscription. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A shinny beige alligator strap is coupled with an engraved Calatrava Cross clasp.
This timepiece is a limited edition of 450 pieces only.
Patek Philippe – Bio
Patek Philippe & Co. was founded in 1839, located in Geneva and the Vallée de Joux. It designs and manufactures timepieces and movements, including some of the most complicated mechanical watches. It is considered by many experts and aficionados to be one of the most prestigious watch manufacturers.
In 1868, Patek Philippe made their first wristwatch, which was sold on November 13, 1876 to the Hungarian Countess.
It is the last independent, family-owned Genevan watch manufacture with uninterrupted operating history spanning nearly 180 years.
