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.

Hublot collaborated with artist, and designer Samuel Ross this year to present a successor to their initial limited edition skeletonized honeycomb orange model, inseparable from its vibrant appearance, the new Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon SR_A by Samuel Ross takes on a completely monochromatic persona with its sleek titanium gray case. This latest iteration offers a twist in its design, with interchangeable straps available in three distinct colors, providing a stylish and versatile accent to the watch's elegant gray ensemble.

The case's design and construction retain their fundamental characteristics. However, there's a notable shift from the bright orange polymer case to an entire case crafted from micro-blasted titanium. The dimensions and specifications, measuring 44mm in diameter by 13.75mm in thickness, remain unchanged. The rubberized grip on the winding crown is now in a gray shade, departing from the original model's signature orange hue, seamlessly blending with the watch's overall aesthetic.

The skeletonized titanium plate acts as a captivating backdrop, creating the illusion of movement components suspended above it on the watch's dial side. It includes a tourbillon positioned at 6 o’clock with a metallic gray shade tourbillon bridge instead of orange, harmonizing with the refreshed full-titanium appearance of the case, and a micro-rotor position at 12 o’clock with hands and circular indices filled with Super-Luminova. Additionally, a minute ring elegantly encircles the intricately skeletonized dial.

The watch is powered by the in-house Caliber HUB6035, an automatic movement that featured in the previous Samuel Ross limited edition and other Big Bang Tourbillon watches from the brand. This caliber boasts 72 hours of power reserve, and operates at a frequency of 21,600vph (3 Hz).

The Big Bang Tourbillon SR_A by Samuel Ross, offers a versatile selection of three rubber straps in white, black, and vivid green, with a titanium deployment clasp. This new edition encourages owners to customize their watch's appearance by easily swapping out the straps as they all incorporate Hublot’s quick release system. In contrast to the original version, which sported a single fixed color scheme.

The watch is limited to 50 pieces, and comes with a price of CHF 117,000 which is equivalent to AED 480,000.
