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.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

An LCD screen is a digital display used to show the time, functions, and other information on a watch using segmented numbers or a combination of numbers and alphabetic characters. These screens are made of liquid crystal material that alters its light-transmitting properties when an electric current is applied, resulting in the display of information.

Typically, the screen is backlit, allowing for easy readability in low-light or dark conditions. LCD screens are known for their energy efficiency, consuming lower power in general, which helps to increase the battery life of the watch.
