Fine Watches: To celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Patek Philippe Salon at Tiffany & Co.s famed Fifth Avenue flagship in NYC next month, the two companies are producing a new limited edition diamond and gold ladies wristwatch. Only 100 examples are being made, priced at $21,800 apiece, equally divided between two dial options: a white lacquered dial with black external minute railroad and a black lacquered dial with white external minute railroad.
The Gondolo design is inspired by Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co. timepieces from the 1930s and features a curved, tonneau-shaped case in 18 karat white gold accented with 164 round brilliant-cut diamonds, a lacquer dial with classic guilloche pattern, Arabic numerals and black, hand-stitched alligator strap. The timepiece is double-signed Patek Philippe and Tiffany & Co. and will be sold exclusively through Tiffanys Patek Philippe Salon, the renowned Swiss watchmakers first in the U.S. and fifth worldwide.

Lovely Watch
I think it's a beautiful piece. Being a woman and a watch geek, however, I wouldn't want a quartz movement and I think this one has one, doesn't it? When spending such a large amount of money on a timepiece, I prefer to have the mechanical movement.
Your wife is lucky!

quartz and ladies
Yes, it is quartz and I don't like that. My wife prefers an automatic, but its incredibly hard to find an automatic for women. I don't think Patek makes any except for the annual calendar for ladies and that is too big for her wrist. If she can't get an automatic, my wife prefers quartz to hand wound. a 24 is another option, but that is also quartz.
Tiffany One Year Salon Watch
The picture you show does not do justice.
The dial is very detailed and of course much better in person.
It is a "dressy" watch, not so much an everyday like a 24 can be.
Have you seen it in person yet??
If you would like some pictures I will bring my camera home tomorrow and take some close ups.
I prefer the Black dial, but I have seen the white on someone and it looked great as well.
Tiffany is holding one for me...
