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.

Parmigiani Fleurier

The Swiss brand Parmigiani Fleurier was founded in Lausanne, Switzerland, in 1996 and was officially inaugurated at the "Château de Bevaix." Its history dates back to Mr. Michel Parmigiani, who began his journey as a watchmaker and restorer. 

The brand continued to grow and evolve, to design and produce its own movements and watches, demonstrating its dedication to innovation and craftsmanship in watchmaking.

In the following years, Parmigiani Fleurier expanded its horizons through acquisitions and formed notable partnerships. Collaborations with Bugatti and the Musée de l'Élysée allowed the brand to explore new avenues for creativity and inspiration, resulting in exceptional watches that reflect the essence of these partnerships.
