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.

Atelier de Chronometrie

Hailing from Barcelona, a city far removed from the Swiss mountains, Atelier de Chronometrie crafts one-of-a-kind timepieces entirely by hand. The brand, co-founded by Moebius Rassmman, a watchmaker with over two decades of experience, and Santiago Martínez, a collector and vintage watch dealer specializing in Patek Philippe, shuns modern machinery like CNC in favor of traditional methods. Atelier de Chronometrie draws inspiration from classic design elements and employs conventional manufacturing techniques while incorporating completely restored and revamped vintage Omega movements to power their watches. In every aspect, the brand's creations are a testament to their dedication to authenticity and craftsmanship.
