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.

spring bar

spring bar

A small metal bar or pin used to attach the watch strap or bracelet to the watch case. It acts as a connector between the strap or bracelet's end pieces and the lugs on the watch case. The spring bar is designed with a spring-loaded mechanism, allowing it to be easily inserted and removed from the lugs. This enables the wearer to change or replace the watch strap or bracelet with ease, offering versatility and customization options. Spring bars are commonly used in a wide range of watches, from casual to luxury timepieces, and they play a crucial role in securely holding the strap or bracelet in place while ensuring a comfortable fit on the wrist.
