Patek Philippe Twenty-4 Automatic Watch

Most ladies' watches were still quartz, and the manchette bracelet-style watch design reigned supreme Fast forward to 2018, and it is a very different watch world, in which the new Twenty-4 is the perfect modern ladies' watch - which is to say it is practically nothing like the original The only thing about the new Twenty-4 that resembles the original is the bracelet, with the same link design except that it is tapered, which is more appropriate for a round ladies' watch.

The new one has applied Arabic numerals in a font not seen before on Patek ladies' watches, although it looks very much like the numeral font on the pilot's watch Ref 7234, which reveals Patek's effort to make this a more sporty, everyday watch than a dressy classic watch, which is what the original Twenty-4 was - and still is Unless it was touted as retro, but it would be hard and rather pointless to do that with a ladies' watch from the '90s - it wasn't exactly the golden age of watch design.

Despite the diamonds, that watch is just plain sporty. . Source
