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 The Iconic Bvlgari Serpenti with Automatic Movements

A new chapter in the history of the Serpenti collection

First introduced in the 1940s, the Serpenti quickly gained fame for its distinctive "Tubogas" bracelets, featuring a flexible, coiled design that emulates the fluid elegance of a serpent. Since then, the Serpenti collection has remained one of the Maison's most iconic and luxurious lines, earning its place as one of the most coveted women’s watches.

Building on this legacy, Bvlgari has unveiled the latest Serpenti Seduttori and Tubogas Automatic collections, marking a new chapter for the brand with the introduction of an in-house automatic movement. These timepieces not only celebrate the hypnotic charm of the snake since 2025 is the Chinese year of the snake, but also showcase technical innovation with the all-new BVS100 Lady Solotempo automatic movement.

The Seduttori models feature a 34 mm oval case available in stainless steel, rose gold, yellow gold, and white gold. Depending on the variant, the bezel is adorned with 36 or 273 round brilliant-cut diamonds. In contrast, the Tubogas collection presents a slightly larger 35 mm rose gold case, complemented by diamond embellishments. Both collections are equipped with a sapphire crystal and a transparent case back, offering a glimpse of the intricately designed rotor. Water resistance is rated at 30 meters across all models.

The Serpenti Seduttori models showcase either white opaline or diamond pavé dials, paired with gold-plated or steel hands and indices. These watches display hours, minutes, and seconds. The Tubogas collection features opaline dials with sunray motifs and rose gold-plated hands and indices, offering a minimalist layout that displays only hours and minutes.

Powering these watches as we have mentioned is the BVS100 Lady Solotempo automatic movement, developed in-house by Bvlgari. This compact, reliable calibre features a rotor adorned with a snake-scale motif. The movement delivers a robust 50-hour power reserve, and measures 3.9mm in thickness.

The Serpenti Seduttori collection features supple bracelets that integrate with the case, available in matching metals with optional diamond settings. For the Tubogas models, the signature coiled bracelet design is offered in single or double-twirl variations, embodying the fluid elegance of a serpent wrapping around the wrist. All prices for these timepieces are available upon request.
