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 New Piaget Polo Date in Rose Gold with Chocolate-Hued Dial

A new addition to the iconic Polo Date collection with a luxurious and elegant appeal

Founded in 1874 by Georges-Édouard Piaget, the esteemed Swiss watchmaking and jewelry brand Piaget has a rich heritage characterized by innovation and elegance. Over the decades, particularly during its iconic era in the 1960s and 70s, the brand gained widespread acclaim for its ultra-thin movements and distinctive designs.

This year, Piaget celebrated its 150th anniversary, marking this significant milestone with a series of remarkable releases that pay homage to its storied past while embracing the future. Among these commemorative timepieces, the brand reintroduced the iconic Polo watch, a symbol of refined sportiness that has been a favorite since its original debut. Additionally, Piaget launched the world’s thinnest watch with a tourbillon. The celebration also saw the expansion of the Piaget Polo Date collection with some elegant additions. Now, Piaget is releasing a new addition to the Polo Date collection in rose gold with an elegant brown chocolate dial.

Like its predecessors, the new watch features the brand's signature rounded, cushion-shaped case, measuring 42mm in diameter and 9.4mm in thickness. The case showcases a beautiful blend of polished and brushed finishes. Protecting the dial is a sapphire crystal, with an additional sapphire crystal on the caseback.

The brown dial boasts a rich chocolate shade and is adorned with a series of horizontal guilloché patterns. It features a framed date window at 6 o’clock, applied rose gold indices with Super-Luminova material, and a central seconds hand with the letter ‘P’.

The watch is powered by the in-house caliber 1110P, an automatic movement that measures 25.6mm x 4mm, operates at 28,800 vph (4Hz), and offers a 50-hour power reserve. It comes with a brown alligator leather strap and a rose gold ardillon buckle, priced at AED 121,000.
