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 New Citizen Series 8 831 Mechanical Crisp Ice Blue

A limited edition timepiece with a beautiful, modern aesthetics

The Citizen Series 8 collection offers a fresh take on sporty, daily-wear timepieces with a robust design identity. Now, this collection brings a sense of modern elegance with its new Crisp Ice Blue dial. The new Series 8 831 Mechanical Ice Blue model introduces a captivating ice blue dial that captures the essence of sunlight reflecting off clear blue ocean waters.

The octagonal case is crafted from stainless steel, measuring 40mm in diameter and 11.6mm in thickness, offering a sleek yet bold appearance. The combination of polished and brushed surfaces enhances its clean, modern look. The sapphire crystal features an anti-reflective coating, ensuring the dial remains visible in various lighting conditions.

The striking ice blue dial is the centerpiece of this model, with a unique geometric pattern embossed to reflect light like ocean waters under the sun. The hands and indices are coated with luminous material, ensuring readability in low-light conditions. Additionally, the dial features a date window at 3 o’clock.

Under the transparent caseback, the in-house Cal. 9051 automatic movement is visible. It operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz) and delivers a 42-hour power reserve. The stainless steel bracelet, with a combination of brushed and polished surfaces, seamlessly integrates with the case. It is equipped with a folding clasp that includes a push-button release for added security and ease of use. The watch is limited to just 1,800 pieces and is priced at USD 1,300, approximately AED 4,800.
