Business man Francesca Bellettini spotted wearing Patek Philippe

Francesca Bellettini - The Italian Woman Who Saved Yves Saint Laurent

Francesca Bellettini is a name that might not be familiar to everyone, but she is the woman who saved Yves Saint Laurent from collapse. As of 2019, YSL has exceeded the €2 billion mark in sales, which shows just how much of a success story the fashion brand has become under Bellettini's leadership.

Bellettini is the CEO of the Kering Group brand and has become a force to be reckoned with in the fashion world. Her success has not gone unnoticed, and she has been featured in several publications that highlight her achievements.

One interesting fact about Bellettini is that she wears a vintage stainless steel Patek Philippe Nautilus. The 3800 model was introduced in the early 80s as an alternative to the ‘Jumbo’ 3700, with a reduced diameter of 37.5mm in response to its slow start. The watch is powered by the ultra-slim in-house calibre 335 SC (which stands for "Seconde Centrale").

It is fascinating to note that the 3700 didn’t feature second hands, which were first introduced on a jumbo reference with the 3711, in 2004. Model Ref. 3800/1A is a unique choice for a woman's wrist and goes to show Bellettini's love for vintage and classic designs.

In conclusion, Francesca Bellettini is undoubtedly a force to be reckoned with in the fashion industry. Her success in leading YSL to exceed the €2 billion mark in sales is a testament to her hard work and dedication. Her choice of a vintage Patek Philippe Nautilus only adds to her intrigue as a fashion icon.
