Patek Philippe Completely Reinvents Twenty-4 Collection With A Sporty Twist, Topping Out At ...

Patek Philippe rocked the world of ladies' watches last week by introducing a completely redesigned Twenty-4 collection, which was first introduced 19 years ago The watch is more "New" than "Redesign." The original Twenty-4 was a manchette style with a rectangular case and a flush bracelet; the new case is round, with a tapered bracelet The original had Roman numerals; the new one has applied Arabic numerals in a font not seen before on Patek ladies' watches, although it comes closest to the numerals on the pilot's watch Ref.

The bracelet link design is the only thing the same as that of the original, and the rounded baton hands are quite similar, albeit larger The luminescent coating on the hands and numerals is new and quite surprising - almost pilots-watch-like The result is a very contemporary watch with a modern movement, design and size - the case is 36 mm compared to the comparatively diminutive 251 mm of the original Twenty-4.

By the way, for those who like smaller watches with Roman numerals, squared cases and quartz movements, the original Twenty-4 is still in the collection - the new Ref. . Source
