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.

German brand Moritz Grossmann is known for its classic designs. Founded in 2008, the company has successfully revived the tradition of German watchmaking with a modern twist. The brand has launched several collections, including the Tefnut. One of its most notable releases is the “Tefnut Silver Plated by Friction” watch, which was offered in various case materials. Now, the brand is launching a new edition of the Benu collection: the “37 Arabic Vintage Watch.”

The case of this new watch comes in a sleek brushed stainless steel design, featuring a diameter of 37 mm and a height of 9.2 mm. Its satin-finished surface enhances its elegant appearance, while the three-part construction ensures durability. Both the front and back are protected by sapphire crystals, and the brand’s classic conical crown adds a refined touch to the overall design.

The dial of the 37 Arabic Vintage features a grey (anthracite) color, crafted from untreated German silver and showcasing a velvety matte finish that shimmers with varying shades of grey. The dial serves as an elegant backdrop, displaying applied numerals and a train track running along the rim for easy reading of the minutes, along with the Grossmann logo, which enhances its prominence. The polished steel hands, expertly handcrafted, with a small seconds display at 6 o’clock in a subdial that echoes the shape of the main dial with its train track, inviting admiration for its meticulous artistry.

The watch is powered by the exquisite in-house calibre 102.1, a manual-winding movement featuring 188 meticulously crafted parts. Designed with a pillar construction and a plate made from untreated German silver. It operates with a lever escapement and is equipped with a shock-resistant Grossmann balance, complete with four inertia screws and two poising screws, ensuring precision at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3Hz). With a power reserve of 48 hours when fully wound, showcasing beautiful traditional decorations, including large ribbings and a hand-engraved balance cock under the sapphire caseback.

It comes with a hand-stitched kudu strap and a stainless steel pin buckle, priced at EUR 39,700, which is equivalent to AED 158,800.
