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.
A new chapter marked by the brand’s first full-titanium watch
Alpina is known for its rugged sports watches and for introducing some of the earliest concepts of what we now recognize as the “tool watch.” In 2022, Alpina launched the Alpiner Extreme, a new design for its emblematic Extreme line, which first debuted nearly 20 years ago. This year, the brand pushes its limits with its first-ever full titanium timepiece: the Alpiner Extreme Automatic Titanium.
The new release features a robust 39mm cushion-shaped case, measuring 11.5mm thick and crafted entirely from Grade 2 titanium, with a mix of brushed surfaces and polished bevels. The case includes integrated lugs and the signature fixed bezel with exposed screws. A screw-down crown and a screw-down caseback, help ensure a water resistance of 200 meters.
The silver brushed dial is adorned with Alpina’s iconic triangle pattern, complemented by applied indices filled with white luminous material for excellent low-light readability. It also features a date window at 3 o’clock and a red-triangle tip on the seconds hand.
The watch is powered by the Alpina AL-525, an automatic caliber based on the Sellita SW200-1. It operates at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz) and offers a 38-hour power reserve. It comes fitted with a matching H-link bracelet, also made from Grade 2 titanium, and secured with a folding clasp featuring a push-button release.
The watch joins the brand’s permanent collection at a price of CHF 2,495, which is approximately AED 11,200.
