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.

Brushing

Brushing

Brushing, also known as satin finishing, is a technique used to create a specific pattern resembling a fabric texture on the surface of watch components. It involves the use of a brush or abrasive material to create parallel and fine lines.

Typically, the brushing technique is applied to metal surfaces, such as stainless steel or titanium, although it can also be used on other materials like gold or platinum. It is commonly used on watch cases, bracelets, and dials to enhance their appearance and create a distinctive visual effect.

The brushing technique involves creating fine and evenly spaced lines that can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, depending on the desired effect. These lines give the surface a textured and satin-like finish, adding depth and visual interest to the watch.
