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.

German silver ( Nickel silver )

Nickel silver, also known as German silver, is a type of alloy commonly used in various components of watchmaking. Despite its name, nickel silver does not actually contain silver. It is composed of a mixture of copper, nickel, and zinc. The term "silver" refers to its silver-like appearance rather than its composition.

Nickel silver is used in different parts of a watch, including the case, movement plates, bridges, and other components. It possesses various properties such as corrosion resistance, durability, and ease of polishing.
