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.

Introducing Breitling Unveils the Navitimer Automatic GMT 41 CERVO Edition

Commemorating 140 Years of Breitling and 15 Years of CERVO Mountain Resort

To celebrate Breitling’s 140th anniversary and the 15th anniversary of CERVO Mountain Resort, the two brands are launching the Navitimer Automatic GMT 41 CERVO Edition. Breitling and CERVO Mountain Resort have been collaborating for four years, with the mission of bringing the lifestyle and values of modern adventurers to the world. Zermatt, Switzerland, has always been a place for those who love adventure, a paradise for pioneers and explorers. CERVO has embraced this essence and transformed it into a forward-looking hotel concept.

For this collaboration, Breitling has chosen its Navitimer design, one of the most recognizable watches ever made, which comes in an exclusive green color the company has named CERVO. The Navitimer Automatic GMT 41 CERVO Edition is limited to 150 pieces. The GMT function makes the watch the perfect companion for any journey.

This limited-edition timepiece features a 41 mm stainless-steel case with a thickness of 11.65 mm. Its thin bezel is notched from the side. The caseback bears the limited-edition notice “One of 150,” the CERVO logo, and the resort’s guiding principle, “BEYOND EXPLORING.”

The dial is CERVO green, as named by the company, maintaining the same aesthetic as the collection. The complex scales surrounding the dial include the seconds chapter, tachymeter, minute track, and the dual time zone chapter. The arrow-shaped GMT hand, which glows green, refers to the GMT function. The date window is white and located at 6 o'clock. The applied hour indices and hands are polished steel, all coated with white Super-LumiNova.

Powering the timepiece is the Caliber 32, an automatic movement that operates at 4Hz and offers a 42-hour power reserve. The watch comes with a seven-row Navitimer bracelet with a butterfly clasp. As a limited edition of only 150 pieces, it is priced at 6,250 CHF / 25,000 AED.
