Patek Philippe Twenty-4 Perpetual Calendar

Patek Philippe introduces a refined chapter in the Twenty~4 collection with the 7340/1R, the first round, non-gemset model in the series—and the first to feature a high complication. Rendered in polished rose gold, this new addition balances tradition and modernity through a sunburst olive green dial that leans quietly contemporary. It houses the ultra-thin self-winding caliber 240 Q, a mainstay in the brand’s lineage of perpetual calendars, offering reliable elegance in a case just under 10mm thick.

Through the sapphire crystal case back, one can admire the architecture of the perpetual calendar mechanism—a layout instantly recognizable to Patek connoisseurs. The display is balanced yet informative, with day and 24-hour indicators at 9 o’clock, date at 6, and month with leap year at 3, all anchored by a moon-phase at center. The hands and applied numerals, crafted in rose gold and tipped with luminescent coating, maintain legibility while echoing the watch’s refined tones.

Paired with a fully polished rose gold bracelet featuring a proprietary design, the 7340/1R wears with fluid comfort and confidence. The patented clasp system provides discreet yet robust security, in line with Patek Philippe’s attention to detail. For those drawn to a cooler palette, a sibling reference with a silvery satin-brushed dial offers an equally sophisticated alternative.
