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.

The Bulgari Serpenti collection stands as one of the brand's most iconic and luxurious lines, seamlessly blending fine jewelry craftsmanship with watchmaking. Introduced in the 1940s, the Serpenti collection became renowned for its distinctive "Tubogas" bracelets, featuring a flexible, coiled design that artfully mimics a serpent's form. Bulgari's exceptional craftsmanship is showcased in these timepieces, utilizing precious metals, gemstones, and intricate detailing to elevate the serpent motif, which made it one of the most famous women's watches.

As part of Bulgari's novelties at Geneva Watch Days 2024, the brand is introducing the new Serpenti Pallini, powered by its miniature Piccolissimo mechanical calibre for the first time. This trilogy of sophisticated mechanical watches, available in yellow, rose, or white gold with diamonds, draws inspiration from the original Pallini design created in 1955, which featured a five-turn bracelet in yellow gold and diamonds.

Serpenti Pallini Ref. 104025

The first Serpenti Pallini watch in this new trilogy is crafted from white gold and set with round brilliant-cut diamonds. It features the iconic pear-shaped emerald eyes on the snake's head, crowned by large diamonds, and comes with a two-twirl bracelet. The dial is elegantly adorned with pavé-set diamonds, complemented by green hands, and is protected by a sapphire crystal.

The watch is powered by Bulgari's Piccolissimo BVL100 manufacture manual winding mechanical micro movement, just 2.55mm thick, offering a power reserve of 30 hours and operating at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3Hz).

The second Serpenti Pallini is crafted from white and rose gold, and is adorned with round brilliant-cut diamonds, and two pear-shaped emerald eyes on the snake's head that is also topped by large diamonds. Its two-twirl bracelet is elegantly set with pavé diamonds, while the dial is embellished with 0.28 ct of diamonds, featuring green hands and sapphire crystal. The watch is powered by the same mechanical movement.

Serpenti Pallini Ref. 104027

The third and last Serpenti Pallini watch is crafted in a combination of white and yellow gold, set with 7.53 ct of round brilliant-cut diamonds, and features the signature pear-shaped emerald eyes on the snake's head along with a two-twirl bracelet. This piece marks the first contemporary interpretation of the Serpenti Pallini in yellow gold, distinguishing itself with a mother-of-pearl dial adorned with diamond indexes and green hands. Like its counterpart, it is powered by the Piccolissimo BVL100 manual winding micro movement. All the prices are upon request.
