Watch aficionados know that in Patek Philippe's universe, everything unfolds in its own time. The Genevan manufacture marches to the beat of its own drum and is always guided by purpose rather than trends. So when Patek Philippe introduced the Reference 7340/1R to its Twenty~4 collection – its dedicated women’s line – at Watches and Wonders in April, it was a great reward of patience.
