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.
The First Mechanical Watch to Display the Movements of All the Planets in the Solar System
Christiaan van der Klaauw, the Dutch brand renowned for its expertise in astronomical watches, has unveiled the Grand Planetarium Eccentric Manufacture, the most complex watch ever crafted in their atelier. Created to commemorate the company's 50th anniversary, this exceptional timepiece is the only mechanical planetarium watch in the world that displays all eight planets, capturing in real-time the unique, eccentric orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune around the Sun.
The inspiration and mechanics behind this masterpiece trace back to the CVDK Kepler’s Planetarium Clock, originally developed by the master watchmaker Christiaan van der Klaauw in 1995.
The Grande Planetarium Eccentric Manufacture features a 44 mm case with a domed sapphire crystal and uniquely engraved hour markers on the inner side. It is available in rose gold and platinum versions. The bezel’s slim design draws attention to the dial, with its vibrant highlights, while the sapphire crystal case back showcases the intricate movement components.
The aventurine dial resembles a starry sky, adorned with zodiac signs and the Planetarium Eccentric's hand-painted planets. Two central hands indicate the hours and minutes, while a central sun serves as a seconds indicator, rotating gracefully around its axis.
This planetarium complication is the only one of its kind, showing the real-time orbits of all eight planets around the Sun. The planets move along eccentric paths, mirroring their actual celestial courses with remarkable precision. At the heart of the Eccentric Planetarium sits the Sun, positioned centrally. The orbital periods of the planets are as follows:
Mercury: 87.97 days
Venus: 224.70 days
Earth: 365.24 days
Mars: 686.98 days
Jupiter: 11.86 years
Saturn: 29.46 years
Uranus: 84.02 years
Neptune: 164.80 years
The CVDK Grand Planetarium Eccentric Manufacture boasts an impressive network of gears, totaling 3,338 teeth. Its core houses an in-house, self-winding manufacture movement operating at a frequency of 3 Hz (21,600 vibrations per hour) and offering a 60-hour power reserve. A skeletonized, rose-gold-plated brass rotor, shaped like the CVDK logo, is complemented by a rhodium-plated tungsten weight on its outer edge.
Both editions are paired with a blue leather strap and a folding buckle. This remarkable addition to the brand’s permanent collection is priced at EUR 208,000 (approx. AED 823,000) for the rose gold edition and EUR 227,000 (approx. AED 898,000) for the platinum edition.
