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.

Let’s go back to the spring of 1996, when Patek Philippe invented and patented the Annual Calendar complication, a brilliant mechanism that quickly became one of the brand’s flagship innovations. This complication displays the correct date for months with 30 and 31 days, requiring only one adjustment per year: from February 28 or 29 to March 1. It sits neatly between a standard calendar, which needs adjusting five times a year for months with fewer than 31 days, and a perpetual calendar, which requires no adjustment at all. The Annual Calendar only needs resetting once a year, at the end of February. This year, Patek Philippe introduces a new reference to the collection in rose gold: the Annual Calendar Ref. 4946R.
Measuring 38mm in diameter and 11mm thick, the Ref. 4946R sits comfortably on a wide range of wrists. Patek Philippe deliberately did not assign a gender to this watch, noting that the 38mm size suits every wrist. Crafted from 18k rose gold and fitted with sapphire crystals on both sides, the case follows the elegant Calatrava style, which we also saw in the steel variant that was released with a blue dial in 2021.
The star of the show is the chestnut-brown dial, adorned with a linen-like “shantung” texture. Achieved through vertical and horizontal satin brushing, it provides an elegant backdrop for the practical calendar display. Apertures for the day and month are arranged neatly across the top half, while a moon phase display anchors the dial alongside a date window.
Powering the watch is the Caliber 26-330 S QA LU, an automatic movement that beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and offers a power reserve of 45 hours. It comes paired with a brown calfskin leather strap, embossed with a denim-style motif and secured with a rose gold prong buckle. While the watch is not a limited edition, pricing remains available upon request.
