Is 2011 ladies’ year at Patek Philippe ? In the wake of the Grande Complication feminine models presented by the Manufacture, two models confirm Patek Philippe’s resolute nod in women’s direction. The famous World Time featuring a simultaneous display of all 24 time zones, is given a decidedly feminine touch in a white gold model enhanced by a diamond-set bezel and a hand-guilloché opaline ivory-coloured dial. A sure way of travelling in fine style across all five continents. The famous Nautilus Ladies collection, redesigned in 2009, welcomes the Ladies Automatic Nautilus, the first models in diamond-set steel, equipped with a self-winding movement. The dials, bearing the raised signature Nautilus motif, come in several colours, including precious versions in blue-tinted river mother-of-pearl or purple black mother-of-pearl.
