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.

Introducing Norqain Unveils New Edition Sport 37mm DLC Watch

Black Case Decorate With Red Gold Colored Accents

In 2020, Norqain launched the Adventure Collection, one of its most popular collections since the brand's inception in 2018. This collection is known for its versatile designs, featuring various complications such as chronographs, as well as the high-quality materials used in their construction. Over the years, Norqain has introduced several editions within this collection, often honoring different cultures and regions. Today, we present the latest release from the Adventure collection, the "Adventure Sport 37mm DLC & Gold" watch.

This watch comes with a 316L stainless steel case coated in DLC for enhanced durability and a sleek black finish. With a diameter of 37mm and a thickness of 11.5mm, it strikes a balanced presence on the wrist. The case is complemented by an 18 ct 5N red gold knurled bezel, accentuated with a black ceramic ring, red gold graduations, and a Super-LumiNova insert at 12 o'clock for readability in low light. Its water resistance of 100m makes it suitable for everyday activities, while the double anti-reflective, scratch-proof, double-domed sapphire glass ensures clarity. The open case back reveals a scratch-proof flat sapphire glass, and the screw-down crown with the Norqain logo adds a touch of refinement. Additionally, the engraved NORQAIN plate on the left side ensures the aesthetic appeal.

The dial features a black surface with the distinctive Norqain pattern, adding depth and texture. The date window at 3 o'clock is complemented by a red gold-colored NORQAIN logo. All hour markers, as well as the hour, minute, and central second hands, are diamond-cut, faceted, and red gold-plated, filled with white Super-LumiNova for optimal legibility in low light. A white-printed minute track is also featured around the edge of the dial, enhancing precision. This combination of diamond-cut precision, luminous elements, and the minute track elevates both the dial's aesthetics and functionality.

The watch is powered by the Norqain calibre N08, based on the Sellita SW200-1 mechanical automatic movement. It features a personalised NORQAIN rotor, adding a touch of uniqueness. With a power reserve of 41 hours. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz), it offers smooth and precise timekeeping.

It comes with a black rubber strap, and stainless steel DLC coated pin buckle, and priced at CHF 3,950 approximately equivalent to AED 17,400.
