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.

Introducing Jaeger-LeCoultre Unveils the Rendez-Vous Jewellery Tourbillon

A Dial That Plays with Light and a Rose Gold Case Set with Diamonds

Jaeger-LeCoultre launched the Rendez-Vous collection for the first time in 2012, representing the pinnacle of luxury and elegance in women's watchmaking. Most of the watches in this collection are set with diamonds, whether on the bezel, dial, crown, or lugs, giving them a luxurious charm. In its latest innovation, the brand adds to this elegant collection the “Rendez-Vous Tourbillon Jewellery”, which is distinguished by its turquoise color, to add a touch of distinction and extreme elegance.

The watch features a 39mm case crafted from 18k pink gold with a 12.15mm thickness, adorned with 215 diamonds totaling 2.52 carats. Among these, 112 diamonds sparkle on the case, bezel, crown, and sides. The case has sapphire crystals on on both sides, a bezel secured by four screws, and ensures 50 meters of water resistance.

The sunray brushed dial has a serenity Blue lacquere, a unique and captivating shade, embellished with 103 brilliant-cut stones. Gold hour and minute hands gracefully mark the time, while the pink gold numbers complement the elegant design. Positioned at 6 o'clock, the tourbillon escapement showcases the running seconds, completing a full revolution every minute. And which, the intricate hand-decorated gears of the tourbillon are visible.

The watch is powered by the Jaeger-LeCoultre Calibre 978, an in-house automatic movement that features Côtes de Geneva decorations, and 302 components. It operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz), and offers a 45-hour power reserve.

The timepiece comes with a luxurious light petrol Blue alligator leather strap, with a double folding pink gold buckle, and the price of this timepiece is available upon request.
