Patek Philippe 24 Ladies
Hello,
This is my wife's Patek Philippe 24.
I bought this for her as an "upgrade" it her Solid Gold Rolex President 69178.
Whilst it may not have been my choice - it retails for $15,000- for a steel quartz watch with diamonds.
It has made her very happy! .... it has made other woman jealous..... so I suppose it is worth every cent!
Not in my shopping list...
I'll buy a nice watch for my wife for her birthday and it will be a white Patek. I never considered 24 because I think that 90% of the price is coming from the text on the dial.
Historically Patek made beautiful ladies watches with mechanical movements. Nowadays Patek is on the other hand saying that ladies love battery movements when 24 is concerned and at the same time appreciate Grand Complications when minute repeaters, perpetuals, etc. are concerned. Not very creditable...
Best, Kari
+1 too
Mine is also of the idea that the movement must be mechanical. Furthermore, she would like to have an exhibition back and a finely finished movement. She loves i.e. her Reine de Naples but is the opinion that the rotor spoils the view to the movement. I hate this kind of expensive taste. Except when it's mine...
Best, Kari

I have to agree; $15,000+ for a quartz watch?! - and this seems to apply to several of the Patek watches offered to women not only the 24 unfortunately...
I think if your wife loves it...
then it's worth it... especially if the "other" woman's envy started to show. 
Aloha,
Bob
