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.

The One & Two Openworked stands as an iconic collection from the independent brand Speake-Marin, the collection is known for its craftsmanship and openworked design, which highlights the intricate details of their movements. In 2020, Speake-Marin expanded its One & Two Openworked collection with the introduction of a flying tourbillon model. Since its initial release, the brand has consistently revealed new variations, each produced in limited Editions. During W&W2024, the brand presents the Openworked Tourbillon Ultra-Violet, featuring a vibrant violet hue.

The timepiece features the renowned Piccadilly case, offered in sizes of both 38mm and 42mm. Constructed from grade 5 titanium, the case seamlessly combines brushed and polished finishes. Protecting the dial is a sapphire crystal, while the screw-down transparent case back provides a glimpse into the intricate inner mechanisms. Both variants maintain a thickness of 12.35mm and provide water resistance of up to 30 meters.

The openworked dial reveals a PVD-coated ultra-violet grid, giving the watch a futuristic aesthetic. The 60 minute flying tourbillon is positioned at 1:30, and showcases a rhodium-plated bridge. Adjacent to it, at 10 o’clock, the barrel cover is intricately engraved with the inscription “One & Two Openworked – Flying Tourbillon,” adding a creative touch. The off-center tungsten micro-rotor is positioned at 5 o’clock, embellished with a laser-engraved concentric circle pattern. The power reserve indicator is positioned at 7:30, featuring a triangular pointer treated with Super-LumiNova for improved visibility. The rhodium-plated Speake-Marin shaped hands at the center, treated with luminescent material emitting a blue glow, ensure easy readability even in dim lighting.

The timepiece is powered by an in-house manufactured automatic movement, the caliber SMA05, operating at a frequency of 21,600 vph (3Hz), and offering 72 hours of power reserve when fully wound. Each watch is accompanied by a black rubber strap fastened with a titanium pin buckle.

There are only four watches available in the 38mm case size, and five in the 42mm case size. The pricing for these timepieces ranges from CHF 79,500 to CHF 79,900, approximately equivalent to AED 320,000.
