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.

Chronoswiss adds three new timepieces to the Delphis collection, reflecting the brand's dedication to quality and craftsmanship. The all-new Delphis Dracula, Delphis Horizon, and Delphis Dune feature grand feu enamel dials, adding a touch of luxury to their famous design with hand-guilloché decoration.

As seen in the previous Delphis edition, which featured a blue dial coated with the CVD technique, The Delphis collection offers a range of colors and materials. Each edition, including the new ones, is limited to only 50 pieces, making each edition more special.

This timepiece features a case crafted from 17 pieces, available in red gold or grade 5 titanium, measuring 42mm in diameter and 14.5mm in thickness. It also includes a polished, highly decorated onion crown under a polished bezel with thin fluted decorative side.

Along with a curved double-coated anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The case is water-resistant to 100 meters, with a sapphire crystal exhibition window on the case back.

Available in three colors: red for the Dracula edition with a red gold case, amber for the Dune edition, and blue for the Horizon edition, both of which come in a titanium case.

The watches showcase curved hand-guilloché dials with a deep grand feu enamel coating using an ancient technique on an 18-carat gold base plate. After this, the enamel is protected with seven layers of translucent coating. The upper segment features a central retrograde minute with a jumping hour window display at 12 o’clock.

On the lower part of the dial, the small seconds display at 6 o’clock is suspended above the dial, giving the impression that it is floating. It features a hand-guilloché pattern coated with grand feu enamel, similar to the upper side of the dial. The bridges on which the central retrograde minute hand and the small seconds hand sit add gracefully curving lines to the dial. Minutes and seconds are indicated via Viking-style skeletonized hands made of gold-plated brass.

These watches are powered by the Automatic Manufacture Caliber C.6004, the same used in Delphis collection, developed in collaboration with La Joux-Perret, operating at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and offering 55 hours of power reserve. It features an openworked rotor. The movement also has radial Côtes de Genève decoration, and components plated with ruthenium are showcased under the satin-finished screw-down case back. This caliber comes equipped with a Nivarox balance spring and Incabloc shock protection.

The watch comes with a black rubber strap with a folding clasp, and each edition is a limited to only 50 pieces. As for prices, the “Dracula” edition is priced at 38,000 Swiss francs, equivalent to 155,000 AED.
