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.

Malachite

Malachite is a type of gemstone known for its vibrant green color and unique natural patterns and designs, making it a beautiful artistic piece. It is used to decorate watch dials, watch bezels, and other elements of the watch.

Malachite is carefully cut and polished to achieve a smooth and shiny surface, allowing it to be perfectly fitted in the watch.

In addition to its natural beauty, malachite is also considered a symbol of protection, healing, and spiritual balance. Therefore, malachite can be added to watches as a symbol of strength and inner peace.

It is important to handle malachite with care to preserve its beauty and avoid scratches or damage. A special protective coating may be used to protect the surface of malachite and extend its lifespan in the watch.
