The New Patek Philippe Twenty~4 7340/1R Perpetual Calendar

Introduced in 1999, the Twenty~4 collection was Patek Philippe’s first dedicated line of feminine timepieces. The original model featured an Art Deco-inspired manchette (cuff) design, but in 2018, the brand unveiled the Twenty~4 Automatic, which is a round-cased iteration powered by an automatic movement. This year, Patek Philippe elevates the collection further by introducing a perpetual calendar complication, marking the collection's debut in the realm of Grand Complications.
Crafted entirely in 18K rose gold, the watch features a 36mm case with a slender profile of just 9.95mm, making it sit gracefully on the wrist. The case is meticulously finished with a combination of polished and brushed surfaces, enhancing its refined aesthetic. Two dial options are available. The Ref. 7340/1R-001 features a silvery opaline dial with a vertical satin finish, evoking the texture of shantung silk that feature irregular texture, while the Ref. 7340/1R-010 presents an olive green sunburst dial for a more contemporary appeal.

Founded by Léon Breitling in Saint-Imier, Switzerland, in 1884, Breitling has etched a legacy as a trailblazer in chronometers and precision timekeeping. Across its history, Breitling has been instrumental in shaping chronograph watches, embodying precision, innovation, and style.

The year 1952 marked a pivotal moment when the Breitling Navitimer ascended to high status within the realm of aviation watches. Emerging from a lineage of precision and ingenuity, it seamlessly merges with the realm of flight, utility, and a spirit of exploration.

The "Navitimer" name blends "navigation" and "timer," encapsulating the watch's core purpose, aiding aviators in calculations. The circular slide rule bezel, integral to the Navitimer's design, enabled pilots to calculate fuel use, airspeed, and more, making it a vital tool for airborne navigation.

Like its previous steel, as well as gold variations, Breitling has once again captivated enthusiasts with its latest offering, a limited edition Grey Navitimer. Encased in a 46mm steel case, it hosts a distinctive 18k red gold notched bezel. The fusion of steel and red gold creates a seamless union that effortlessly blends the realms of aviation and luxury.

Within this exclusive watch lies an elegant anthracite dial that exudes refined sophistication. The interplay of three black subdials, one for 1/4th seconds at 9 o'clock, another for 30 minutes at 3 o'clock, and a third indicating 12 hours at 6 o'clock accompanied by a date window, and Red gold stick hands and indexes. This deliberate design ensures that vital information remains accessible, even amidst the challenges of aviation.

Powering this watch is the Breitling Manufacture Caliber B01, COSC-certified, this movement guarantees chronometer-level accuracy, providing aviators with a steadfast companion for precise timekeeping throughout their journeys. Boasting a 72-hour power reserve. The watch comes with a Black alligator strap with steel deployant clasp.

The timepiece is available only in Breitling's U.S. webstore in a limited number of 300 pieces. Prices at USD 11,900 which is equivalent to AED 47,700.
