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.

As we approach Dubai watch week, Breitling introduces two exclusive Special Edition timepieces for the UAE market, created in collaboration with Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons. Presenting the Breitling Chronomat Automatic GMT 40, one adorned in an ice blue hue as a homage to the capital Abu Dhabi with its mean time (ADMT), while the other features a striking bright blue design as a tribute to the beautify city of Dubai with its Mean Time (DMT), both of which elegantly showcase Indian numerals gracing the dial.

Both watches feature a stainless steel case that measures 40 mm in diameter, and 11.7 mm in thickness, topped by a cambered sapphire glass with anti-glare coating on both sides, surrounded by a stainless-steel unidirectional and ratcheted bezel, with a fluted, dome shaped onion crown for easy adjustments. The watches are secured with a solid, screwed caseback, ensuring 200 meters of water resistance, combining both functional and aesthetic appeal.

The Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 ADMT Special Edition showcases a captivating ice blue dial, while its counterpart, the Chronomat Automatic GMT 40 DMT Special Edition, boasts a vibrant bright blue dial, both adorned with a satin sunray finish. These exceptional editions share a common design element, featuring prominent 18k red gold-plated Eastern Arabic numerals on the dial, and a date window at 6 o'clock, complemented by an 18k red gold-plated hour and minute hands coated with Super-LumiNova, ensuring effortless readability. Additionally, a 24-hour scale allows the user to track a second time zone using the red GMT hand, which also features SLM on its arrow tip.

Powering both watches is the Breitling Caliber 32, a self-winding mechanical movement that features bidirectional ball bearing, ensuring efficient and reliable performance. With 42 hours of a power reserve and a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz), this movement is certified by COSC, attesting to its exceptional precision and quality. Both watches are equipped with a stainless steel rouleaux bracelet with a deployment clasp.
