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.

Palladium

Palladium

Is a precious metal that belongs to the platinum group and shares several characteristics with it. Palladium is known for its durability, resistance to oxidation (chemical corrosion), and high heat resistance, making it a popular choice for watch cases and bracelets.

Palladium has a silver-white appearance and is lighter in weight compared to other metals such as stainless steel or gold. It also possesses a high level of corrosion resistance, helping to protect the watch case and bracelet from external environmental factors, thereby increasing the lifespan of the watch.
