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.

Pellaton (Winding System)

Pellaton (Winding System)

Pellaton winding system is an invention by Mr. Albert Pellaton. This system is characterized by an automatic winding mechanism used in mechanical watches, where it harnesses the natural motion of the wearer's arm to wind the main spring with energy.

The system employs a unique rotating design that rotates the main spring during the movement of the rotor in the direction of the watch's hands and in the opposite direction. By utilizing a series of levers and gears, it enhances the transfer of rotational force generated by the rotor. The Pellaton winding system, often associated with the "IWC" brand (International Watch Company), is an example of dedication to innovative and reliable winding technology, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the watch.
