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.

In 2014, Franck Muller introduced the Vanguard collection, an exceptional addition to the brand’s catalog. The Vanguard collection embodies the distinctive design and technical expertise that the brand is known for, and transforms them into elegant and sporty wrist wear options.

A while ago, Franck Muller celebrated the Chinese New Year in a Japanese way. Now, the brand celebrates the Year of the dragon once again and introduces a new collection of three bejeweled timepieces, blending traditional symbolism with innovative design. The "Vanguard Dragon Skeleton Limited Edition" with the mythical charm of the dragon.

The trio features the distinctive Vanguard shape and a sapphire crystal glass, ensuring durability and clarity. Its luxurious appeal is further enhanced by the intricate detailing, with brilliant-cut diamonds hand-set onto the white gold case. With a diameter of 41mm and a thickness of 9.1mm, the timepiece balances elegance and comfort. Additionally, the watch boasts a water resistance of 30 meters.

This exclusive collection presents three distinct open worked dials, each boasting its own unique aesthetic appeal. Whether adorned in vibrant pops of green or red backdrop with round brilliant cut diamond numerals, or featuring the iconic Color Dreams numerals, each timepiece offers a captivating and individualized style.

Powering the trio is the Caliber 708-SQ, a skeleton movement crafted in-house, with all components manufactured and hand-decorated. Engraved on the custom rotor, the dragon finds its place on the back of the timepiece, seemingly wrapping protectively around the movement, symbolizing strength and guardianship.

The watches come with a black alligator leather strap and are limited to just 10 pieces for each reference, available solely at Franck Muller boutiques throughout the Asia Pacific region
