Gondolo Ladies First Joaillerie Ref. 7043
Patek Philippe unveils the Gondolo Ladies First, its new line of timepieces for women.
Reference 7043/250GR-001 is a Joaillerie version featuring a white gold 31 x 34.8 mm case distinguished by a “cushion” shape with softened edges celebrating the modern vintage style, along with a rose gold crown. It is entirely set with 253 diamonds (1.56 cts), while the gemset articulated lugs ensure peerless comfort on the wrist. The radiant rose gold dial is framed by a white gold flange set with 108 diamonds (0.41 ct), revealing an amphitheater composed of 303 concentrically set diamonds (0.96 ct). Time is indicated by 12 trapeze-cut amethyst hour-markers (0.17 ct) and purple-coated white gold leaf- shaped hands.
The timeless elegance of this watch powered by quartz Caliber E15 is enhanced by a shiny purple alligator leather strap, secured by a white gold and rose gold prong buckle set with 23 diamonds (0.18 ct).
