A stylish companion for the life of modern, active women
Nearly 20 years after the debut of the Twenty~4 manchette-type watch that became a paragon of timeless feminine elegance, Patek Philippe is fulfilling a wish expressed by many discerning style-conscious women. To them, it is dedicating the all-new Twenty~4 Automatic, the first model of the collection with a self-winding mechanical move- ment in a round case. This highly contemporary watch was created to accompany eclectic and vibrant lifestyles around the clock, glistening with the fire of genuine diamonds.
In 1999, Patek Philippe responded to the expectations of a young, dynamic generation with the very feminine Twenty~4 that became resoundingly successful. Its unusual name reflects the fact that it is a perfect companion for any time of day or night. The manchette watch was endowed with a quartz movement (except the 2003 Haute Joaillerie model with a manually wound mechanical movement); it came in various stainless steel versions and in gold as well.
Patek Philippe is reinforcing its position in the growing segment of mechanical ladies’ watches and now presents a new self-winding wristwatch: the Twenty~4 Automatic. It is a timepiece for modern, self-confident women with taste who are decision-makers and
pursue active lifestyles. With its sleek elegance, it is a watch for any time of day, complementing every facet of daily life. It perfectly matches the entire spectrum of a lady’s wardrobe – from outdoor outfits to evening gowns.
The watch focuses on the woman who consummately handles latest-generation technolo- gy but prefers a mechanical timepiece on her wrist, one that represents a grand tradition of quality and the lasting value of an artistically crafted masterpiece. The caliber 324 S C was Patek Philippe’s choice as the heart of the new feminine model. This self-winding mechanical movement with a Spiromax balance spring in Silinvar is a gem of precision and dependability. It is crafted to the strict standards of the Patek Philippe Seal and exhibits elaborate manual finissage (such as chamfered and polished edges and Geneva striping) that can be admired through the sapphire-crystal case back.
The new Twenty~4 Automatic adopts the aesthetic appeal of the rectangular Twenty~4 with an exclusive bracelet featuring gently cambered central links framed by delicate two-tier outside links. With a supple fit, inimitable and elegant, it gently hugs the wrist. The self-winding version stands out with a totally new round 36mm diameter case featuring prominent yet subtle contours. And as always in Patek Philippe creations, puristic style melds with highly refined details.
The Twenty~4 Automatic is available in five versions: two in steel with diamond-set bezels, two in rose gold with diamondset bezels, and one in rose gold with diamonds set in the bezel, the bracelet, and the crown. The “Dentelle” (lacework style) gemsetting technique produces tworow configurations of offset precious stones that highlight their radiance. All diamonds – immaculately cut flawless Top Wessel- ton grade – comply with the directives of the Patek Philippe Seal and are set to the most exacting jewelers’ standards.
With its finely crafted selfwinding mechanical movement and the decidedly feminine timeless design, the new Twenty~4 Automatic has everything it takes to accompany style-conscious and self-confident women day in and day out.
