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.

ranscending Time: Patek Philippe Unveils Its Grand 'Watch Art' Exhibition in Tokyo, Celebrating Rare Horology Craftsmanship

Patek Philippe, the iconic Swiss watch manufacturer, recently launched its grand "Watch Art" exhibition in Tokyo for 2023.

This grand showcase, marking Patek Philippe's sixth global exhibition, has Japan as its chosen venue - one of the brand's key markets. The public and horology enthusiasts are invited to take part in this immersive experience from June 10 to June 25, 2023.

The exhibition, designed to encapsulate the essence of the last standing independent family-run watchmaker from Geneva, spans an impressive 2,500 square meters. Visitors will feel as though they've been transported directly to the scenic streets of Geneva and the tranquil lakeside, thanks to the detailed decor.

This event, the largest ever arranged by Patek Philippe, brings more than just the allure of the watchmaker's behind-the-scenes workings. It also marks the debut of six limited-edition watches and an extensive collection of timepieces that demonstrate the rare craftsmanship inherent in the brand.

This exhibition not only honors Patek Philippe's storied legacy but also reaffirms its commitment to preserving the art of watchmaking, blending tradition and innovation in each meticulously crafted piece.
