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.

Winder

Winder

Is a box that contains a manual or electric motor and a holder where the watch is placed. When the watch winder is activated, it provides a rotational movement to the watch, helping to keep the lubricating oil inside the movement and maintaining the accuracy of the watch. It is used to provide continuous movement to the watch when it is not being worn. When a person stops wearing the watch for an extended period and the watch stops working, a watch winder can be used to keep the watch moving and regularly adjusted.

The use of a watch winder is particularly beneficial for self-winding watches, as it can continuously recharge the mainspring in the watch, ensuring the watch continues to operate without user intervention.
