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.

COSC

COSC

Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres, is an independent Swiss organization responsible for certifying the performance and accuracy of mechanical watches through a series of tests on watch movements. It is considered one of the highest standards in the watch industry for measuring the performance and accuracy of watches.

The watch movement undergoes a series of rigorous tests and measurements under various temperature conditions over a specified period, typically up to 15 days. These tests evaluate the performance and accuracy of the watch.

To achieve the COSC certification, the average daily rate of the watch must fall within a specific range of -4 to +6 seconds per day. This means that the watch should not deviate more than -4 to +6 seconds from the exact time over a 24-hour period. Additionally, the movement must meet specific criteria for accuracy, stability, and reliability.
