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 watch inspired by the snowy green landscapes
Since Grand Seiko separated from Seiko, it has made a significant difference with its release of luxury watches. The brand is renowned for its creative dials inspired by nature, which plays a fundamental role in Japanese culture. This year, Grand Seiko is launching the Hi-Beat 36000 GMT SBGJ277 Sekkei, a new addition to the sport collection featuring a beautiful silver-textured dial that draws inspiration from snow-capped mountain peaks in summer.
The watch comes in a 44.2mm stainless steel case measuring 14.4mm in thickness, featuring both brushed and Zaratsu-polishing. Its dual-curved sapphire crystal enhances durability and readability, while the bidirectional bezel with a sapphire crystal coating offers a 24-hour two-tone scale in green and white. The white area of the bezel and the numerals in the green section are treated with LumiBrite (luminous material by seiko) for enhanced visibility in low light. The watch has a solid steel caseback and is water-resistant up to 200 meters, making it both robust and reliable.
The silver dial reflects the green landscapes of summer, even when snow still lingers on the ground. Known as "Sekkei," these snowy valleys serve as the inspiration for both the dial and the bezel. The large applied indices at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock are polished and feature LumiBrite inserts, which match the luminous treatment on the hour and minute hands. The watch also includes a date window with a white background located at the 4 o'clock position. The central GMT hand has a dark green hue, while the 24-hour track on the inner flange alternates between white and green.
The Grand Seiko SBGJ277 is powered by the Hi-Beat caliber 9S86, which operates at 36,000 vph (5Hz). This high-precision automatic movement boasts an accuracy range of +5 to -3 seconds per day, and offers 55-hours of power reserve. The watch comes with a stainless steel three-link bracelet, and a triple-folding clasp with a push-button release. The watch will be available starting May 1st of this year, priced at USD 6,800, which is equivalent to AED 25,000.
