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 Oris Unveils the New ProPilot X Miss Piggy Edition

The Brand's Second Collaboration with The Muppets Showcasing the Elegance of Miss Piggy

In 2023, Oris's collaboration with The Muppets resulted in one of the brand's most creative and distinctive releases. Following the great success of the "Oris ProPilot X Kermit" edition, the independent Swiss company returns to unveil a new watch inspired by the second most famous character in the cartoon series.

Now, at the beginning of 2025, Oris introduces a special edition dedicated to the cartoon character Miss Piggy. Featuring a vibrant color and a diamond-studded dial that reflects this elegant character, the watch also boasts a distinctive caseback revealing an image of Miss Piggy. This is a unique addition, as the "Kermit" edition showcased a similar feature in its date window.

The "Miss Piggy" edition adds a feminine touch to the Oris ProPilot collection with its 34mm stainless steel case. This marks the first use of stainless steel in a collection that has traditionally relied on titanium. The case features a mix of brushed and polished surfaces while retaining the sharp angular design, the fluted bezel, and the small crown guards that protect the screw-down crown. 

The stainless steel caseback includes a small mineral glass window as a unique detail, where Miss Piggy's image appears intermittently with the rotor's movement, adding a distinctive charm to the watch. The case offers water resistance up to 100 meters.

The dial of the Oris ProPilot X Miss Piggy edition showcases the iconic pink color of Miss Piggy. Oris selected a matte pink finish, complemented by applied hour markers coated in the same color, creating a harmonious and visually appealing design. At 12 o’clock, Oris adds a touch of elegance by replacing the traditional marker with a baguette-cut diamond, reflecting Miss Piggy's luxurious style.

The watch is powered by the automatic Caliber 531, based on a Sellita movement, offering a 42-hour power reserve and operating at a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz).

A stainless steel bracelet completes the refined design of the watch. The bracelet features polished central links and brushed outer links, secured with a folding clasp inspired by seatbelt designs.

The Oris ProPilot X Miss Piggy edition is priced at 2,800 Swiss Francs, approximately 11,760 AED.
