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.

Mechanical movement

Mechanical movement

It is the fundamental component of a watch, consisting of internal mechanisms that drive the hands and manage the various functions of the watch. The movement contains a complex system of mechanical, electronic, or a combination of both parts to accurately measure and display time and perform various complications.

Watch movements vary in their operation methods and technologies, including traditional mechanical movements, quartz movements, and hybrid movements.

Mechanical actuators are divided into two types:

Automatic and automatic motors: they derive their energy automatically through the movement of the wrist.

Manual Motors: Powered by manual winding (the crown is turned to power it).
