 In 2012, Patek Philippe introduced the Diamond Ribbon Ref. 4968. This extravagant title refers to a watch inspired by the swirling silk ribbons used in rhythmic gymnastics: the ribbon in this particular case is interpreted as 273 diamonds, and that Which is probably the most interesting detail of them is replica watches uk the way they gradually increase in size as they surround the mother of pearl dial. The 2014 edition is crafted in white gold and is presented on a leather strap.

While we've been looking at more elaborate and elaborately designed high-end women's watches for a number of years now, with a little research, we can uncover interesting details in the history of women's watches that go back much further. in time. Therefore, before we talk about this piece in more detail, let's focus on a small snippet of Patek's past, a company whose history with these watches goes back a long time. Although Patek Philippe was founded in 1839, the company made one of its first great discoveries at the "Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations", or the Great Exhibition of 1851. The notice came from Queen Victoria, who he loved fine craftsmanship. and whose husband, Albert, the Prince Consort, was a man of innovation who was driven to the idea of ​​merging science and art with the manufacturing industry - so much so that he kicked off the first world exhibition.

It was in this 1851 exhibition that Queen Victoria visited the stands of the numerous hopeful sellers (who all wished for her grace and financial support) and came across a key-winding Patek Philippe Watch, made in the style pendant. This moment, as the story goes, has fused a relationship between Patek Philippe, Queen Victoria and her consort Prince Albert.

It's been over 160 years since then, yet Patek to this day makes an open effort to be among the best producers when it comes to playing quality. Having handled this watch - although my gaze isn't as keen as the Queen's - I realize that, at first glance, every tiny component is finished with the utmost attention to detail in mind. After all, the watch is powered by one of the finest hand-wound movements in the world: the Caliber 215 PS LU (with "PS" stands for "petite seconde", meaning the seconds dial and "LU" for "phase de moons, "or moon phases), and the case is designed to be more unique than that of your diamond-encrusted ladies' watch.

The ultra-thin 18-jewel - only 3mm thick - hand-wound Caliber 215 is one of Patek's staples. Now, when I say the staple, I don't mean the movement is ordinary or generic, but rather, I mean the replica watches Caliber 215 requires no augmentation or overhaul at this point. The movement stands up on its own showing a tranquility that requires no fanfare beyond the pattern of its construction - an enduring trait found in all Patek Philippe watches, with astronomical results in auctions.
