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.

When Bulgari launched the OCTO FINISSIMO TOURBILLON in 2014, it shattered three world records. It became the world's thinnest automatic watch, the world's thinnest automatic tourbillon, and the world's thinnest tourbillon. Now, as part of the occasion of Watch and Wonders 2024, the company has unveiled three new ultrathin timepieces featuring tourbillons—two with manual winding movements and the third with an automatic caliber.

The last Acto Finismo releases were distinguished by sketches of movement on the dial, but these versions on the occasion of Watch & Wonders 2024 reveal the movement completely for us to enjoy, as each version is distinguished by materials that differ from the rest of the versions, as well as finishes.

OCTO FINISSIMO TOURBILLON AUTOMATIC

A 42 mm platinum case, satin-polished and measuring 4.95 mm in thickness, features a satin-polished platinum time-setting push-button and a transparent case back. The crown, made of polished white gold, is adorned with a black ceramic insert, ensuring water resistance up to 3 ATM.

An open-worked dial with a sandblasted blue movement and black hands characterizes the new Bulgari Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic. Powered by the new caliber BVL 288, which has been a staple of this collection since its 2018 debut, this timepiece boasts an ultra-thin skeletonized movement with a flying tourbillon, measuring only 1.95mm thick. Completing the ensemble is a blue alligator leather strap paired with a satin-polished platinum pin buckle.
