The Patek Philippe Grand Complications reference 7140R-001 is an ultra-slim ladies’ perpetual calendar featuring a 35.1mm case crafted from 18k rose gold. This elegant timepiece is distinguished by its silvery opaline dial with a sunburst finish, adorned with applied rose gold numerals and feuille hands. The case is exceptionally thin at 8.7mm and is framed by a bezel set with 68 brilliant-cut Top Wesselton diamonds totaling approximately 0.68 carats. It comes equipped with a hand-stitched alligator leather strap and a rose gold tang buckle set with an additional 27 diamonds.
The watch is powered by the ultra-thin self-winding caliber 240 Q movement, which utilizes a 22k gold micro-rotor to maintain a slim profile. This mechanical masterpiece supports a full perpetual calendar suite, including day, date, month, leap year cycle, and 24-hour indication across three sub-dials, as well as a moon phase display at the 6 o’clock position. The movement is designed to accurately track the calendar until the year 2100 and offers a power reserve of approximately 38 to 48 hours.
General reviews of the 7140R-001 emphasize its historical significance as Patek Philippe’s first perpetual calendar designed specifically for women. It is frequently praised for its balanced proportions and the technical feat of miniaturizing a complex grand complication into a feminine scale. While the diamond-set aesthetic is highly regarded for its refinement, some collectors note that the presence of stones makes it a more formal piece, though it remains a top choice for those seeking a fusion of haute horlogerie and jewelry.
