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.

Pavé

Pavé

which is a French term involves the setting of small gemstones onto the surfaces of watch components in a uniform and consistent manner, creating a beautiful and dazzling pattern.

The Pavé technique is characterized by the precise and even placement of small gemstones, such as diamonds, emeralds, or sapphires, on the surface of the watch. It is widely used in the production of luxury watches, whether for fully decorating the watch case or for embellishing certain subparts such as the dial and bracelet. The small gemstones used in this technique are meticulously arranged according to their size and shape to perfectly complement the overall design of the watch.
