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.

Breitling introduces a new line of timepieces co-designed with Victoria Beckham, the fashion designer and wife of the famous English football player David Beckham, a former player of Manchester United and Real Madrid. Victoria Beckham launched her eponymous clothing line in 2008.

Now, in her first collaboration with a watch brand, she has partnered with Breitling, lending her signature style to the Chronomat 36 Victoria Beckham collection. Limited to just 1,500 pieces, this collaboration between the luxury watchmaker and the celebrated fashion house's creative director results in a unique and exclusive collection.

Co-designed by Victoria Beckham, the new limited-edition collection features six variants of the Chronomat Automatic in an elegant and slim 36mm case size, with a choice of cases in stainless steel or yellow gold – a material specially revived by Breitling for use in this line. In terms of aesthetics, the timepiece exudes sophistication with a touch of the unexpected, amalgamating both labels’ design codes. While both brands' names are engraved onto the case back, and the sapphire crystal covers the watch from the front.

The collection features both the Breitling logo on the dial and Victoria Beckham’s initials on the second hand. The dials also reference the limitation: “One of 400” for each of the stainless-steel pieces and “One of 100” for each of the gold variations. Look closely for the subtle VB logo and inscription on the bracelet. Coming in Midnight blue and peppermint as common cases, the third dial option comes in a gentle Sand hue to complement the warmth of its case material, and the dove gray with lab-grown diamond hour markers for stainless steel. Super-LumiNova® luminescent indexes and hands enhance visibility in low-light conditions.

Powered by the Breitling Caliber 10, the Chronomat Automatic 36 Victoria Beckham boasts a running time of approximately 42 hours off the wrist, thanks to the bidirectional rotor. Like all Breitling watches, each piece has achieved Contrôle officiel suisse des chronomètres (COSC) certification, a distinguished independent validation of its precision and performance.

The bracelet comes in gold or stainless steel and features the VB logo and inscription on it. The prices of the gold editions are $29,500 USD, equivalent to AED 108,000, while the stainless steel version is priced at $5,600 USD, equivalent to 20,600 AED.
