  • Catalogue Essay

    Drawing inspiration from the opulent era of the 1950s, the Patek Philippe ref. 7071 stands out as the firm's first chronograph wristwatch tailored for women.

    Initially introduced in 2009 in pink gold to mark the inauguration of the Salon in Paris, this reference marks a significant milestone in the history of women's wristwatches. Encased in a cushion-shaped case featuring rectangular chronograph pushers and flexible lugs, the design seamlessly blends form and function to ensure optimal wrist comfort while upholding its avant-garde allure.

    The reference was initially offered in two case materials, with a white gold edition unveiled in 2012. The pink gold models were presented in two dial variations, while the white gold versions featured three. All variants were exclusively adorned with diamonds set beneath the crystal. The present pink gold model, with a captivating white dial, is showcased in excellent "like new" condition and comes complete with all accompanying accessories.
