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.

Quartz Movement

Quartz Movement

It is a type of watch movement that uses quartz to move the watch hands and operate its functions. The quartz movement consists of a combination of electronic and mechanical components that work together to achieve high accuracy in timekeeping.

In quartz movement, a quartz crystal is used as a timing device. When the crystal is subjected to an electric current, a constant electrical pulse is generated at a specific frequency. These electrical pulses are converted into a precise signal used to move the watch hands and display the time.

Quartz movement is known for its high accuracy, as it is regulated by the steady frequency of the quartz crystal. It is also stable and reliable, allowing for time reading with accuracy up to a few seconds. This makes it a popular choice for precise and reliable watches.
