Patek Philippe continues the renewal of the Twenty-4 collection, which has become one of the references of feminine elegance. The quartz models with rectangular cases are enriched by a new version with a pink gold case and a chocolate sunray dial. The Twenty-4 Automatic with a round case, on the other hand, comes in two new models, the first in steel with an olive green soleil dial, the second in pink gold with a golden soleil dial. When Patek Philippe presented the Twenty-4 collection in 1999, the Geneva-based company wanted to offer timepieces that could accompany modern, active women at all times in their lives. Thus was born a watch with a strong character and suitable for every occasion, to be worn at work, at home and during leisure time. As mentioned, the Twenty-4 with Ref. 4910/1201R-001 combines an 18-carat rose gold rectangular case (measuring 25.1 x 30 mm) with a chocolate sunburst dial. The original lines of the double godron case are emphasised by the two vertical rows of 17 Top Wesselton Pur diamonds (for a total of 34 diamonds, or approximately 0.57 carats), which are expertly set. The pink gold bracelet with folding clasp is entirely hand-polished. The Twenty-4 Automatic with a 36 mm steel case (Ref. 7300/1200A-011) is distinguished by its elegant olive-green dial, a colour never seen before in Patek Philippe's contemporary collections, enhanced by the soleil decoration. The bezel is underscored by the double row of 160 diamonds set in a quincunx pattern (equal to approximately 0.77 carats), according to the original Dentelle setting technique. The 324 S C calibre with automatic winding exhibits exquisite finishing, visible through the transparent case back. The polished steel bracelet is fitted with a new patented folding clasp secured by four independent attachment points. Finally, the Twenty-4 with Ref. 7300/1200R-011 in rose gold extends the harmony of the 36 mm case to the gold-plated sunray dial and hands, applied Arabic numerals and the date window frame, made of the same precious metal. The double row of Dentelle-set diamonds illuminates the ensemble, as does the refined finishing of the self-winding 324 S C calibre, visible through the transparent back. The new patented folding clasp enhances the comfort of the bracelet, composed of three rows of entirely hand-polished pink gold links.
