Patek Philippe 7040/250G Ladies Minute Repeater White Gold

The Patek Philippe 7040/250G-001 is one of the rare modern ladies’ minute repeaters produced by Patek Philippe, combining high complications with Rare Handcrafts decorative artistry.

Unlike many gem-set ladies’ watches that prioritize jewelry aesthetics, the 7040/250G houses the self-winding calibre R 27 PS minute repeater movement — one of Patek Philippe’s most prestigious chiming calibres.

The reference is distinguished by its hand-guilloched gold dial coated in translucent blue flinqué enamel, alongside Patek Philippe’s patented Flamme® diamond-setting technique.

Many collectors regard the 7040/250G as one of the most elegant modern expressions of feminine haute horlogerie.

Patek Philippe Rare Handcrafts

The 7040/250G belongs to Patek Philippe’s Rare Handcrafts universe, showcasing traditional métiers d’art techniques such as hand guilloché and flinqué enamel craftsmanship.

Compared to the earlier reference 7000R, the 7040/250G elevates the artistic aspect through Rare Handcrafts dial work and Flamme® gem-setting.
