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.

Engraving

Engraving

Is a decorative process that involves carving or etching various patterns and designs onto parts of a watch. It is used to add an artistic and aesthetic touch to components such as the case, strap, buckle, dial, and other parts of the watch.

Special tools such as gravers, hammers, and fine saws are used to create engravings on metal, glass, leather, and other materials used in watchmaking. Different engraving techniques are applied, including deep engraving, fine engraving, diamond engraving, and laser engraving.

Engraving patterns and designs can include lines, geometric shapes, flowers, leaves, animals, logos, or any custom design desired to be added to the watch.
