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 TAG Heuer Monaco Chronograph Racing Green

A green variant that pays homage to the traditional British racing livery

The Monaco collection stands as one of the most iconic timepieces in the world of horology, embodying the TAG Heuer’s deep passion for motorsport in its bold, squared case design. With a history that stretches back to 1969, this watch has maintained its place as a symbol of racing heritage and avant-garde style. Over the years, TAG Heuer has continued to innovate within this collection, delivering a variety of exciting iterations. Last year, the brand introduced a stunning grade 2 titanium variant with blue accents, offering a fresh, contemporary take on this classic of a timepiece. Following the success of that model, TAG Heuer is now launching a racing green variant that pays homage to the traditional British racing livery.

Just like the previous blue release, the new Monaco comes in a grade 2 titanium case with a beautiful sandblasted finish, measuring 39mm by 39mm with a thickness of 14.35mm. The dial is protected by a sapphire crystal, the crown is positioned at 9 o'clock and the chronograph push buttons are located at 2 and 4 o'clock. The case also features a sapphire caseback and ensures water resistance up to 100 meters.

The sunray silver dial subtly recalls the dashboards of 1920s and 1930s sports cars, while the green opaline counters and bold yellow accents pay homage to the classic British racing livery. The dot indices and hands are coated with Super-LumiNova, ensuring enhanced readability in low-light conditions. The dial features a date window at 6 o’clock, a small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock, and a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock.

The watch is powered by the Calibre 11, an automatic movement based on the Sellita SW-300 and paired with a Dubois-Depraz chronograph module. It operates at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and provides a 40-hour power reserve. The timepiece is fitted with a green calfskin leather strap with yellow lining and a grade 2 titanium folding clasp. Limited to 1,000 pieces, it is priced at AED 36,400.
