Introducing: The Patek Philippe Reference 7150R/250R Chronograph

March 21, 2018

Patek Philippe has never shied away from making complicated ladies' watches. Over the years, they have produced minute repeaters, world timers, and chronographs all targeted at women and fit for the slight-of-wrist. Back in 2009, we got the cushion-shaped reference 7071, which was the first watch to house the brand's new manually-wound chronograph caliber (and it would go on to become a staple of the collection). The new reference 7150R/250R-001 is a similar watch in many ways, but this time the caliber CH29-535 PS is presented in a rose gold round case measuring 38mm and set with 72 round diamonds. The silvered dial has a 30-minute register and subsidiary seconds dial, along with applied Breguet numerals (swoon).? Why This Watch Matters Patek Philippe has always been a champion of the ladies' watch, so it comes as no surprise that they continue to release interesting ladies' pieces as the years go on. The 7150R is now the only Patek chronograph offered just to ladies and is powered by the same caliber that runs the coveted 5170, which is pretty darn cool, though if given the opportunity, I would most certainly choose the latter C?but I'm not every woman. And if you are a woman of means (this watch will set you back a little over $80,000), then there is no better ladies' chronograph than this.? The 7150R replaces the cushion-form reference 7071R as the only ladies' chronograph offered by Patek Philippe.
