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.

The inaugural race took place in 1909, and it has been held annually since then, with interruptions only during the two World Wars. it’s the second famous race after the Tour de France. This year marks a notable addition as the Tudor Pro Cycling Team will represent the brand throughout the entire 21-stage race, marking the young team's inaugural Grand Tour.

The latest release of the Pelagos FXD marks a departure from its predecessor, drawing inspiration from the U.S. Navy, as it incorporates chronograph functionality. Specifically tailored for the riders of the Tudor Pro Cycling Team, the new Pelagos FXD model is a cycling-themed chronograph designed with lightweight materials and functionality at its core. Featuring a carbon composite case, it embodies the essence of performance on the road.

The black dial. Executed in a matte finish, the dial incorporates black snailed counters. The subdials include a 45-minute counter at 3 o'clock and a small seconds counter at 9 o'clock, with a date window positioned at 6 o'clock.

One of the hallmarks of the TUDOR divers’ watches introduced in 1969 is the square hour-markers and “Snowflake” hands, to offer larger luminous surfaces and thus improve legibility,

Powered by the caliber MT5813. We previously saw this caliber in the Tudor Black Bay Chrono Pink, the American Football Miami Edition.

A sophisticated movement with a 70-hour power reserve, it’s an automatic, integrated chronograph movement constructed with amenities like a vertical clutch and column wheel.
The MT5813 is derived from the Breitling B01, but heavily modified by Tudor. Amongst the Tudor upgrades are a free balance wheel and a silicon hairspring.
