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.

Modern Art (Art Nouveau)

Modern Art (Art Nouveau)

Modern Art (Art Nouveau) is an artistic and design movement that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is characterized by its focus on nature-inspired motifs, flowing lines, and ornamental elegance. The Art Nouveau style sought to move away from the heavy ornamentation of the previous era and embrace a more harmonious and fluid aesthetic.

The influences of Art Nouveau can be seen in the design of watch cases, dials, and decorative elements. Watches with Art Nouveau-inspired designs often feature intricate floral patterns, flowing curves, and delicate engravings. The use of precious materials such as gold, platinum, and gemstones was also common in Art Nouveau watches.
