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 Chopard unveils the L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition

Grand Feu Enamel Dial in a White Gold Case

Sincere Fine Watches is the oldest luxury watch retailer in Singapore, with a rich history dating back to 1954. Over the decades, the company has grown to become a leading retailer and distributor of some of the world’s finest watch brands. With 22 stores across seven countries, Sincere has developed strong relationships with renowned watchmakers, including the iconic Swiss brand “Chopard”. In celebration of its 70th anniversary, Sincere Fine Watches was honored to receive a tribute from Chopard in the form of a special limited-edition timepiece. The L.U.C Quattro Spirit 25 Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition is a creation that highlights Chopard’s exceptional craftsmanship while celebrating this significant milestone in the Sincere legacy.

This timepiece comes with a 40mm diameter and a 10.30mm thickness, crafted from 18k white gold. It is equipped with a glare-resistant sapphire crystal on both the dial, for protection, and the case back, which offers a clear view of the intricate movement details. The laser-engraved 70th Anniversary logo adds a distinctive touch. The bezel, also made of 18k white gold, ensures both durability and elegance. This timepiece is water-resistant to 50 meters.

The watch features a stunning handcrafted Grand Feu enamel Burgundy dial, mounted on an 18K white gold base. A minute train track encircles the dial's edge, with numerals marking every five-minute increment for easy time reading. The single central Dauphine hand elegantly indicates the minutes, while at 6 o'clock, a unique window showcases a jumping hour function, where a disc discreetly moves beneath the dial’s surface to mark the passing hour with precision.

The watch is powered by the Chopard 98.06-L hand-wound mechanical movement, featuring the brand's innovative Quattro technology. This patented system combines two pairs of coaxial barrels, providing an impressive 8-day power reserve that can be tracked by an indicator on top of the movement surface. Operating at a frequency of 28,800 vph (4 Hz), the movement is composed of 240 components, ensuring both precision and durability. One of its standout features is the jumping hours complication, which adds an extra layer of functionality to this finely crafted timepiece.

It comes with a black alligator leather strap and  white gold pin buckle, and it's a limited edition of 10 pieces. This watch is priced at SGD $76,800 equivalent to AED 214,200.
