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.

In 1988, TAG Heuer formed a partnership with Brazilian Formula One driver Ayrton Senna, one of the most celebrated figures in racing history. Senna’s career brought inspiration to the brand, leading to the release of numerous timepieces honoring his legacy. Tragically, this partnership came to an end on May 1, 1994, when Senna passed away following a crash during the San Marino Grand Prix at the Imola Circuit in Italy.

This year, TAG Heuer pays tribute to Senna’s legacy with the release of the Carrera Extreme Sport Chronograph Tourbillon X Senna, featuring a skeletonized dial with blue, green, and yellow highlights reminiscent of Senna’s iconic helmet that is inspired by the Brazilian flag.

Similar to the recently upgraded Carrera Collection, the new timepiece boasts a 44 mm grade 2 titanium case with a thickness of 15.1 mm and is fitted with a black forged carbon bezel featuring a tachymeter scale around the sapphire crystal. The watch also includes a sapphire crystal caseback, adorned with Senna’s “S” emblem and a light-gray stencil illustration of his eyes.

The skeletonized dial showcases black brushed bridges, highlighting the 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock, the tourbillon at 6 o’clock, and a 12-hour chronograph counter at 9 o’clock adorned with a yellow “S” logo. The hour and minute hands are coated with Super-LumiNova for enhanced visibility, while the chronograph hands are accented in yellow.

Powering the watch is the TH20-09 caliber, an in-house automatic column-wheel chronograph movement with a tourbillon. The movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and provides a 65-hour power reserve. The watch is fitted with a blue rubber strap and secured with a titanium folding clasp. It is limited to 500 pieces, and priced at USD 37,900, equivalent to AED 140,000.
