Patek Philippe Twenty-4 7340/1R Perpetual Calendar

Patek Philippe expands its women’s Twenty4 collection with its most mechanically ambitious release to date. Introducing the “Twenty4 Perpetual Calendar”, the first model in the series to feature one of the most prestigious complications in watchmaking. Available in two rose gold references, the new 36mm models pair refined casework and integrated bracelets with a choice of silvery or olive green sunburst dials. Beneath the surface, the ultra-thin Calibre 240 Q delivers automatic operation, a micro-rotor, and decades of calendar accuracy. This release marks a significant milestone for the modern Twenty~4, blending practicality, elegance, and horological depth in a classically proportioned case.
Measuring 36mm in diameter and just 8.65mm thick, the new Twenty4 Perpetual Calendar models are crafted entirely from 18k rose gold. The rounded case adheres to the aesthetic introduced in the Twenty4 Automatic series, featuring softly curved lines and a fully polished bezel. The form is classic yet modern, balancing wearability with elegance.Around the back, the flat sapphire crystal caseback offers a clear and unobstructed view of the ultra-thin calibre 240 Q. Most prominent is the 22k gold off-centre micro-rotor, glinting against a backdrop of finely decorated bridges and polished bevels. Framed by the polished rose gold rim of the case, the display window serves as a fitting showcase for Patek Philippe’s refined approach to traditional movement finishing.
It comes equipped with a knurled setting-crown tucked neatly into the case flank, echoing the collection’s refined character while offering easy access to calendar adjustments. Water-resistance is rated to 30 meters (100 feet).
Two distinct dial executions are offered for the new Twenty~4 Perpetual Calendar: a vertically satin-finished silvery opaline version and a rich olive green sunburst alternative. The silvery dial, featured on Ref. 7340/1R-001, evokes the texture of shantung silk, adding depth and a tactile elegance to the display. The olive green sunburst dial on Ref. 7340/1R-010 offers a bolder, more contemporary presence, catching and reflecting light with every movement.
Both dials are laid out with careful symmetry. The day and month are positioned at 9 and 3 o’clock, while the moon phase and date share a subdial at 6 o’clock. A subtle leap year indicator sits just above the center. Dauphine-style hands and applied hour markers are crafted in rose gold, harmonizing with the case and bracelet.
In keeping with Patek Philippe’s focus on clarity and refinement, the dial balances technical complexity with visual calm. A luminous coating is discreetly applied to both the hands and hour markers, offering enhanced legibility without detracting from the sophistication of the dial. The proportions of each element, subdials, calendar indications, and inscriptions are carefully calibrated to preserve elegance, making this a watch that is equally suited to daily wear and formal occasions.
