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.

Unidirectional rotating bezel

Unidirectional rotating bezel

Is an essential feature found in dive watches, serving as an external ring that can only be turned in one direction, typically counter-clockwise.

Its primary purpose is to prevent accidental rotation in the wrong direction, thus ensuring the safety and accuracy of time measurements during diving or other activities. The bezel is specifically designed to track elapsed time or measure specific intervals, with markings or numerals indicating minutes or other units of time. This functionality allows divers to easily monitor their remaining dive time and prevent potential risks associated with prolonged underwater stays.
