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.

Micro Rotor

Micro Rotor

A micro rotor, also known as a miniature oscillating weight, is a balanced rotating component commonly found in automatic and self-winding watches. It rotates with the movement of the wearer's wrist, continuously winding the main spring of the watch. This allows the watch to operate without the need for manual winding or hand winding. The micro rotor can rotate in one direction or bidirectionally.

The micro rotor is typically installed in the back part of the watch and is often visible through a transparent glass. It is considered an advanced technology in watchmaking, offering a combination of elegance and mechanical performance.
