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.
A limited edition with a fully engraved case and a dial inspired by Wotto’s artwork
Maurice Lacroix introduces the AIKON Automatic Wotto Limited Edition, a captivating fusion of urban culture, artistic engraving, and Swiss watchmaking. This striking timepiece joins the Urban Tribe series, embodying a seamless connection between horology and street art.
The story traces back to 2021, when a Hungarian artist engraved an AIKON watch and showcased it on Instagram. This independent artistic expression sparked an unexpected chain of events, inspiring Maurice Lacroix to launch the highly sought-after AIKON Automatic Urban Tribe and AIKON Automatic Skeleton Urban Tribe, with the designer’s approval. Two years later, they elevated the concept further, unveiling a new creation adorned with illustrations by British artist Wotto a.k.a Craig Watkins, a prominent figure in the street art scene. Today, the brand continues to bridge the worlds of watchmaking and art with the AIKON Automatic Wotto Limited Edition.
The 42mm tonneau-shaped case, featuring a raised bezel with six signature double claws, remains consistent with the AIKON collection. Measuring 11mm in thickness, the stainless steel case is fully engraved with Wotto’s distinctive patterns, reinforcing its artistic identity. Water-resistant to 200 meters, the watch features an anti-reflective sapphire crystal on the front and a transparent case back, offering a glimpse into the mechanics within.
The dial takes center stage in this artistic collaboration. For the first time in the Urban Tribe series, Wotto was given full creative freedom to craft his unique graphic universe. Set against a simple gray background, a vibrant ring of mischievous characters, gradually transitioning from yellow to blue, creates an eye-catching display.
To ensure the artwork remains the focal point, the indexes are minimalistic, marked only by metallic tips. A date window at 3 o’clock features a black background, while the rhodium-plated hour and minute hands, coated with white Super-LumiNova, ensure readability. The rhodium-plated seconds hand complements the overall design.
Beneath this artistic dial beats the automatic ML115 caliber based on the Sellita SW200-1, running at 4 Hz with a 38-hour power reserve. Completing the ensemble is Maurice Lacroix’s signature five-row integrated steel bracelet, each link meticulously engraved with Wotto’s patterns.
Limited to 1,000 pieces, the AIKON Automatic Wotto Limited Edition is priced at USD 3,300, approximately AED 12,120.
