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.

Ferdinand Berthoud is partnering with its Singaporean retailer, Sincere Fine Watches, to commemorate the retailer’s 70th anniversary. To mark this special occasion, the brand has unveiled a three-piece limited edition the Chronomètre FB RES Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition. Featuring a platinum case and a captivating salmon dial.

This watch is based on the Chronomètre FB RES collection, released earlier this year. The collection offered both round and octagonal cases in various materials; however, platinum was exclusively available in a round shape. To make this new limited edition more special, the brand crafted the Jubilee Edition in platinum with an octagonal case. The case measures 44 mm in diameter and features two sapphire crystal portholes at 2 and 11 o’clock. Additionally, the Sincere Platinum Jubilee emblem is laser-engraved at 9 o’clock.

The brushed salmon dial, crafted from gilded nickel-silver, features a semi-openworked design that reveals stainless-steel gear-train bridges between 3 and 6 o’clock. The dial also includes a power-reserve indicator with a "0-1" engraving at 9 o’clock, with skeletonized dagger-shaped hands for a striking and refined aesthetic.

The watch is powered by the hand-wound Caliber FB-RES.FC, a COSC-certified movement that offers a power reserve of 50 hours and operates at a frequency of 18,000 vph (2.5 Hz). This exceptional caliber features a constant-force mechanism with a fusee-and-chain transmission, paired with a one-second remontoire device that ensures the central seconds hand moves with accuracy.

The watch is paired with a beige alligator leather strap, and secured with an 18K white gold folding clasp, featuring a PT-950 platinum top cover, and the price is still upon request.
