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.

Field Watch

A field watch is a type of wristwatch designed to be rugged, durable, and easy to read in outdoor or harsh environments. Originally developed for military use, field watches are characterized by their functional and practical design. They typically feature a simple and straightforward dial with clear numerals and large markers, along with luminous hands and markers for easy reading in low-light or no-light conditions.

Field watches are often made from stainless steel or other durable materials. They are typically water-resistant to varying degrees. The straps of field watches are made from durable materials such as nylon or stainless steel, among others.

The main purpose of a field watch is to provide accurate timekeeping and practical performance in outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and other adventures.
