Patek Philippe Begins A New Chapter For The Twenty~4

Patek Philippe begins a new chapter for the twenty~4, while retaining all elements of the continuing story

If you are anything like us, you rejoiced when the news of a fresh Patek Philippe Twenty~4 dropped last year. Of course, we loved the automatic Twenty~4 that debuted in 2018 – we also worried a little about the fate of the rectangular quartz model, which is called the manchette. This year, Patek Philippe is building up the Twenty~4 collection. Now there are new variants for both the round automatic watches as well the old school rectangular one: Ref. 7300/1200A-011 and Ref. 7300/1200R-011, and Ref. 4910/1201R-001, respectively.

The Twenty~4 is exclusively for women – it is not a feminine version of an existing watch for men. It was launched in 1999 and immediately made an impact for its diamonds and steel combination. This time, with Ref. 4910/1201R, the case and bracelet are in rose gold, with diamonds on the case. The dial is in what the brand calls chocolate brown sunburst. For the automatic versions, one is in steel with diamonds, graced with an olive green dial (Ref. 7300/1200A), and one is in rose gold with diamonds and a distinctive rose-gilt sunburst dial (Ref. 7300/1200R).
