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.

Blued

Blued

It is a specific type of material treatment characterized by its transformation into a blue color without the use of any coating. This color change is achieved by exposing the material to high temperatures, typically between 300 and 350 degrees Celsius, which results in the formation of an oxide layer on its surface. This oxide layer reflects light in a manner that creates a striking blue hue.

Bluing is often used on watch hands, screws, and other small components. It is highly valued for its aesthetic appeal, adding a touch of elegance and luxury to the overall watch design.
