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.

Arnold & Son is renowned for its creativity and for producing limited-edition timepieces that blend exclusive materials with contemporary innovation. In 2014, the brand launched the Double Tourbillon, one of its most intricate watches to date. This timepiece features two tourbillons and a dual-time display with two completely independent sub-dials. These sub-dials can show the same time, different times, or function with one tracking time while the other times a long event. Unlike most travel watches, the Double Tourbillon can accommodate time zones offset by 15, 30, or 45 minutes.

Now, the brand is introducing the Double Tourbillon White Gold Amber Edition, a new addition to this collection. Featuring a rich, moiré yellow hue, this watch incorporates Baltic amber, also known as 'tiger' amber, on its dial.

The case of the watch is crafted from 18K white gold and has a diameter of 43.50 mm. It features a domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating on both sides, ensuring optimal clarity. The case back is also made of sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, offering a clear view of the watch's intricate mechanics.

The dial's hue, selected by Arnold & Son, is a warm, moiré yellow. If you are not familiar, not all amber is translucent orange; Baltic amber, in particular, boasts a creamy appearance and a surprising variety of colors. This amber is the fossilized resin from a diverse array of plants, especially conifers, that grew along the Baltic Sea coast approximately 44 million years ago.

The dial features two 18k white gold tourbillon bridges positioned at 3 and 9 o’clock. Local time is displayed on the opal sub-dial at 12 o’clock, marked with Roman numerals. Complementing this, the time in another location is shown at 6 o’clock on an opal sub-dial with Arabic numerals.

The watch is powered by the Calibre A&S8513, a hand-wound mechanical movement with a power reserve of 90 hours and a frequency of 21,600 vph (3 Hz). The mainplate is circular-grained, while the bridges are polished, and adorned with Côtes de Genève pattern.

The watch features a hand-stitched jungle-green alligator leather strap with a yellow alligator leather lining, secured by an 18K white gold folding buckle. It is a unique piece, one of a kind, priced at CHF 227,100, equivalent to AED 943,500.
