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.

Frederique Constant is a brand known for its classical aesthetics and in-house movement production. This year, the brand partnered with Watches of Switzerland to commemorate the retailer’s 60th anniversary, introducing a stunning new version of the Classic Worldtimer Manufacture in a salmon dial.

The new Classic Worldtimer Manufacture features a 42mm stainless steel case with a polished bezel and a traditional onion crown. At just 12.15mm thick, the watch strikes a fine balance between sophistication and wearability. Both the dial and the movement are safeguarded by a sapphire crystal.

The standout feature is the salmon-colored dial, which exudes warmth and refinement. Encircling the central design is a 24-hour ring that serves also as a day/night indicator, bordered by a city ring for its world-time function. At the center of the dial lies a beautifully engraved world map with a sunray pattern. Complementing this dial are stainless steel PVD-coated alpha hands treated with Super-Luminova, a date subdial at 6 o’clock, and a printed white minute track for added clarity.

The timepiece is powered by the in-house Caliber FC-718, an automatic movement that operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offers 38 hours of power reserve. The movement showcases intricate Côtes de Genève decoration and an openworked rose gold rotor engraved with the brand’s name.

Limited to just 100 pieces, this exclusive model is paired with a brown alligator leather strap, complete with a folding buckle. Priced at 8,070 Singapore Dollars, approximately AED 21,700.
