Patek Philippe timepieces never cease to mesmerize us. Their latest timepiece, designed just for women, and called the "First Ladies Chronograph" Ref. 70171 R. is another stunning creation. The timepiece was unveiled to commemorate the opening of Patek Philippe's new Art Deco salon at n��10 de la place Vend?me. The beautiful timepiece flaunts the salon's 1930's art deco style and has a rose gold cushion case and rounded lugs. What is more, this beautiful timepiece was made for ladies by ladies (the design team comprised of women only) only. The dial of the timepiece is available in either silver opaline or black with guilloch��, with two chronograph registers below the central axis, and feuille hands in rose gold. A gem, it glitters with136 diamonds that are encrusted around the bezel.

As always, Patek Philippe timepieces managed to fetch the highest bids with some even setting new records. At this weekend sale, the Patek Philippe watch that set a new world record was the enamel dome clock "Le Tour du Monde de Magellan" Ref. 797 E (lot 231) which sold to an Asian collector for an impressive CHF 174,000 ($164,445) after very intense bidding over the phone. The watch raised quite a response among bidders, showing once again the command that Patek Philippe creations have at auctions.
