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.

The dial is pink, enhanced by HTD’s innovative "Multi-Layer" technology, which gives it remarkable depth and brightness. The soleil-finished dial catches the light with a subtle radiance, displaying a 30-minute and 12-hour chronograph, small seconds with tri-compax subdials, and a one-minute chronograph with a central seconds hand. It features applied indexes and domed, polished hands, crafted from polished steel with a finish and filled with SuperLuminova to improve readability in low light. The applied indexes are flanked by a white-printed minute and seconds track, adding a clean contrast to the dial.
