Following two exciting years with a rapid succession of spectacular innovations like the silicon escape wheel, the Spiromax® balance spring, the ultra-thin split-seconds chronograph, the self-winding chronograph, and the new Nautilus collection, Patek Philippe is focusing on consolidation by presenting a selection of particularly seductive debuts at Baselworld 2007.

The Gondolo: a totally new jeweled watch design with an unusual relief pattern

Time is precious: that is the theme of the new ladies’ timepiece, the latest and most striking addition to Patek Philippe’s collection of Gondolo watches. It displays its diamonds not outside on the case but inside along the bezel, protected by the crystal. They frame attention to where life takes place: in the course of time.

In good form: the new Patek Philippe Chronometro Gondolo

A genuine surprise by Patek Philippe at this year’s Baselworld is a watch of great poise with an evocative name: Chronometro Gondolo. In 1927, the last watch of this series was issued from Geneva. Now, 80 years later, the legend is reborn.

Now in gold: the classic Patek Philippe Nautilus Grande Taille

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, the Nautilus collection was subtly reworked for a reintroduction last year. Now, Patek Philippe complements the basic model in stainless steel with three attractive siblings in 18K yellow, white and rose gold with colorcoordinated leather straps and dials.

Calatrava Travel Time: the classic for the well-traveled lady

Women are on the go, traveling for work and with their families. While away, they want to keep in touch with friends and loved ones at home. For them, Patek Philippe introduces a watch that already counts as a classic in the men’s collection. Now, a splendidly feminine version of the Calatrava Travel Time will capture the hearts of women everywhere.

Patek Philippe launches the perpetual calendar with retrograde date in an enlarged officer’s stylecase

Officer’s watches - their backs are protected by dust covers - are a long-standing Patek Philippe tradition. The rediscovery of a legendary timepiece with a perpetual calendar and a retrograde date in a larger case with a redesigned dial.

Classic column-wheel chronograph with perpetual calendar, accented by the eternal fire of diamonds

Modern, self-confident women are expressing an ever greater interest in complicated mechanical watches while men are discovering the allure of precious stones in combination with the marvels of micromechanical engineering. Patek Philippe has created a classic column-wheel chronograph in a particularly valuable version with a heavy platinum case featuring bezels, dials and buckles set with baguette diamonds. ■
