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 Tudor Unveils The Black Bay Ceramic Blue

The watch that was spotted on F1 Drivers Yuki and Daniel, now released to the public

Tudor has built a longstanding legacy in motorsport competition, supporting victorious teams from the golden era of racing, beginning with the Tudor Watch Racing Team in the late '60s and continuing to the recent IMSA TUDOR United SportsCar Championship. In early 2024, Tudor announced its return to motorsport by partnering with the new Visa Cash App RB Formula One team. 

To commemorate this occasion, Tudor designed a team-exclusive version of its Master Chronometer-certified Black Bay Ceramic, a variation on the 2021 model featuring a blue dial that complements the team’s striking livery. Now, you can wear the same watch that F1 drivers  Yuki and Daniel were spotted with this year.

This Black Bay Ceramic Blue represents the first evolution of the 2021 model that introduced the Master Chronometer certification at Tudor. Most specifications remain identical to the black edition, including a 41mm black ceramic micro-blasted case (sand-blast on a micro lever), a unidirectional bezel with PVD and a 60-minute black ceramic disc featuring a sunray pattern. The watch is topped with a sapphire crystal, and the caseback also features a sapphire crystal.

The new feature here is the domed blue dial, a departure from the black dial, which complements the Visa Cash App RB livery. It includes applied hour markers and hands filled with white Super-LumiNova

The watch is powered by the Manufacture Calibre MT5602-1U, developed in collaboration with Kenissi, and boasts COSC and Master Chronometer certifications. This automatic movement operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4Hz), and offers a power reserve of 70 hours.

The Black Bay Ceramic Blue is equipped with a hybrid leather and rubber strap adorned with blue stitching. Additionally, it includes a black fabric strap with a blue band. Both strap options feature a black PVD-treated steel folding clasp. The watch joins the permanent line at a price of AED 20,340.
