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.

Bianchet SA

Bianchet SA is a luxury watch brand that is based in Lausanne, Switzerland. The company specializes in creating high-end timepieces that blend modern design with traditional Swiss watchmaking techniques.

Bianchet SA was founded by brothers David and Jonathan Gagnebin de Bons in 2018. The company's first collection, called the "01" collection, was launched in 2019 and featured a range of sleek and sophisticated watches that were designed to appeal to modern watch enthusiasts.

One of the distinguishing features of Bianchet SA watches is their unique design. The watches are characterized by their clean lines, minimalist aesthetic, and attention to detail. The company uses only the finest materials, such as high-grade stainless steel, sapphire crystal, and premium leather straps, to ensure that their watches are of the highest quality.

Bianchet SA watches are also notable for their mechanical movements. The company sources its movements from Swiss manufacturers such as ETA and Sellita, which are known for their reliability and accuracy. Many of Bianchet SA's watches feature automatic movements, which means that they are powered by the motion of the wearer's wrist and do not require a battery.

In addition to their technical features, Bianchet SA watches are also designed to be visually stunning. The company uses a range of finishing techniques, such as brushed and polished surfaces, to create watches that are both elegant and eye-catching. Some of the brand's watches also feature intricate dial designs, such as the "Open Heart" model, which allows the wearer to see the watch's inner workings.
