Patek Philippe Womens watches

Patek Philippe was one of the first watch manufacturers to develop women's models. Initially, these timepieces differed from the men's watches primarily in terms of their rich ornamentation and gem settings. The diameters, on the other hand, were relatively similar; until the 1980s, the brand's watches for men were only slightly larger than the 32 to 36-mm ladies' versions.

Women's watches continue to be an important part of Patek Philippe's catalog, and range from classics like the Calatrava and Nautilus to ladies-only collections such as the Patek Philippe Twenty~4.

The Patek Philippe Calatrava is a true icon in the world of watches. Hardly any other dress watch enjoys as much popularity. Since its introduction in 1932, it has been the perfect companion for formal occasions for both men and women.

Over the decades, Patek Philippe launched more and more Calatrava models with different functions and dials. The timepieces are available as two-hand or three-hand watches, with or without a date display. Patek also offers interesting complications like moon phase displays and second time zones.

Patek Philippe generally uses gold for its Calatrava ladies' models. You will find versions in white, yellow or rose gold. There are also many versions with a leather strap or a delicate bracelet in precious metal. The collection also includes models with opulent diamond settings.

The Calatrava for women is available in diameters ranging from 20 to 37 mm, so that each Calatrava fits perfectly.

The first Patek Philippe Nautilus for women was launched in 1980. Measuring 27 mm in diameter, it was equipped with a quartz movement. Over the years, more and more variants were added, including stainless steel, gold, and two-tone versions.

The Nautilus is particularly famous for its integrated bracelet, although versions with textile and leather straps are now available as well. You can also purchase the Nautilus Lady with diamonds on the bezel. Furthermore, there are new models with different dial colors that include black, blue, and white. Particularly rare are iced-out versions of the Nautilus, completely set with diamonds to add extra sparkle to a woman's wrist.

The Patek Philippe Ellipse was launched in 1968 and immediately enjoyed great popularity. Thanks to its dimensions of 34.5 x 39.5 mm, the Ellipse is perfectly suited as a ladies' watch. The case is made exclusively of precious metals such as yellow, rose, or white gold, and even platinum. Leather straps or fine metal bracelets ensure a secure fit.

As is typical for Patek Philippe, only the best movements are used. Patek equips current versions of the Ellipse with the self-winding caliber 240, but you'll also find hand-wound calibers or quartz movements in older models.

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut is a modern luxury sports watch that is available in versions for both men and women. The ladies' models come in sizes ranging from 35 to 39.9 mm and include three-hand watches as well as timepieces with a second time zone or chronograph function. Patek uses both quartz and automatic calibers.

Depending on the model, the case is made of stainless steel or gold, and diamond-encrusted watches are also available.

Patek Philippe launched its first collection exclusively for women in 1999 with the Twenty~4, designed as a stylish companion for the everyday life of a modern, active woman.

The collection includes classic round models as well as watches with rectangular cases. The rectangular shape is slightly reminiscent of the Cartier Tank. Furthermore, almost every Twenty~4 features diamonds on the bezel. Dial colors include black, white, blue, green, and brown, as well as gold tones. Iced-out models with completely diamond-set dials are available.

The Twenty~4 is powered by automatic in-house calibers or precise quartz movements.

Patek Philippe ladies' watches have different prices depending on the model, materials, and functions. It is important to emphasize that Patek watches are considered an investment and therefore come with correspondingly high price tags. Prices for an entry-level Patek watch for women such as the Vintage Calatrava, for example, start at around 7,500 USD.

However, prices for the more luxurious models can quickly climb into the six-figure range. An illustrative example is the Patek Philippe Aquanaut, which can easily cost over $75,000 USD with diamonds on the dial. A more affordable alternative for women is the Patek Philippe Twenty-4, which requires an investment of only $10,000 USD, depending on the model, and also features a diamond-set bezel. It should be noted that exact prices may vary depending on the market, availability and demand.
