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.

Since 2006, Longines has held the role of Official Main Partner and Official Timekeeper of the International Skiing Federation (FIS). As the 48th FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in 2025, set to take place in the stunning alpine setting of Saalbach, Austria, Longines celebrates this prestigious event by unveiling the Conquest Chrono Ski Edition.

The watch features a 42mm stainless steel case with a beautiful mix of brushed and polished finishes, offering a bold presence on the wrist with a thickness of 14.3mm. Its bezel includes a black ceramic insert with a tachymeter scale. The sapphire crystal is treated with an anti-reflective coating, ensuring optimal clarity, and the closed caseback is engraved with an image of an alpine skier.

The anthracite dial showcases a classic tri-compax layout, accented by chronograph hands with striking red tips. Each index is accompanied by a small square filled with Super-LumiNova, ensuring excellent legibility in low light, while the hands are also treated with the same luminescent material.

Powering the watch is the calibre L898.5, an automatic chronograph that operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz), and provides 59-hours of power reserve. Additionally, the movement features an anti-magnetic silicon balance spring, enhancing its resilience to magnetic fields and optimizing long-term accuracy.

The watch comes with a stainless steel bracelet featuring a triple-security folding clasp, as well as a black rubber strap with a double-security folding clasp. It is limited to 2,025 pieces and priced at USD 4,300, equivalent to AED 15,800.
