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 Panerai Unveils The Luminor Dieci Giorni GMT

A new addition to the Complicazioni collection with a 10 days power reserve

Following Panerai’s Luna Rossa-focused campaign at this year's Watches and Wonders, which showcased a stunning collection of releases, we had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Alessandro Ficarelli, Panerai's Chief Marketing Officer. Notably, Panerai partnered again with the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team ahead of the 37th America’s Cup in Barcelona and introduced a beautiful tourbillon watch. However, Panerai had even more in store.

Now, the brand unveils the new Luminor Dieci Giorni GMT, featuring an extended 10-day power reserve and a GMT complication, as part of the Complicazioni collection, which includes the brand's releases with high-end complications. The watch comes in a 44mm polished stainless steel case with the iconic cushion-shaped design and crown protector. The dial is safeguarded by a sapphire crystal, and the movement is visible through the sapphire crystal caseback.

The blue sunray sandwich dial consists of an upper plate layered over a solid bottom dial with hour markers filled with Super-LumiNova. The subdial at 9 o’clock serves as the small seconds and AM/PM indicator, featuring a bright orange arrow hand to distinguish between day and night hours. The dial is equipped with pencil-shaped hour and minute hands and an orange-tipped hand for the GMT function, and a date window positioned at 3 o’clock. Positioned at 6 o’clock, lies the linear power reserve indicator. 

The watch is powered by the caliber P.2003, the first automatic movement developed by Panerai. It operates at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and features a seconds-reset mechanism when the crown is pulled. The standout feature of this movement is its impressive 10-day power reserve, as indicated by the watch's name "Dieci Giorni," which means 10 days in Italian.

The new Luminor Dieci Giorni GMT comes with a dark blue alligator leather strap with a matching stitching and trapezoidal steel buckle, and the watch includes an additional blue rubber strap. The watch is priced at USD 16,792, which is equivalent to AED 61,700.
