The legendary ultra-thin self-winding Calibre 240 (2.53) with its 22-carat gold micro-rotor integrated into the mainplate was patented by Patek Philippe in 1977. Since then, it has been fitted with an also ultra-thin perpetual calendar module (1.35 mm), and now drives two particularly elegant new models. The first evokes the Art Deco period and the emergence of the first cushion-shaped cases that have since become cult items ; and appears clothed in yellow gold. The second, called the Ladies First Perpetual Calendar, is the first perpetual calendar wristwatch in the contemporary collection to be offered in a ladies’ version. This pink gold Calatrava model set with 68 diamonds on the bezel embodies a perfect alliance between jewellery expertise and an accomplished technical feat.
