The Twenty-4 collection is all about understated elegance and versatility. What's equally important is how it embodies Patek Philippe's design language, superlative standards, and watchmaking savoir-faire
For the modern woman, a timepiece on the wrist is no longer just an accessory for telling the time or completing an outfit. Instead, it’s become something deeply personal—an intimate object that, paradoxically, also speaks volumes about her.

Few watches can claim to convey the essence of modern femininity as well as the Patek Philippe Twenty-4. Launched as the Genevan manufacture’s first women-only collection in 1999, it revealed a previously unexplored facet of watchmaking for the brand, and quickly established itself as an icon. In 2018, the brand expanded the line with the Twenty-4 Automatic, which offered a stunning reinterpretation of the collection’s key tenets in a completely different form.

As a manufacture, Patek Philippe’s calling cards include its penchant for timeless design, superlative watchmaking on both the technical and decorative fronts, as well as savoir-faire in various metiers d’art.
The Twenty-4 Automatic embodies these traits through and through. Note its classic yet contemporary design, for a start; clean lines and smooth surfaces define this watch’s exterior to give it a quiet elegance. This is enhanced by the diamond-set bezel and sunburst dial with gold appliqué indices—touches of luxury that simultaneously showcase Patek Philippe’s mastery of decorative crafts. The overall design language and executive gives the Twenty-4 Automatic an effortless versatility that makes it perfectly suited for the boardroom and a gala alike, for all-day wearability as its very name alludes to.

Ticking within the Twenty-4 Automatic is Caliber 324 S C, a slim, self-winding movement with a power reserve of up to 45 hours. Convenience aside, it boasts elaborate finissage that can be admired via the timepiece’s see-through case back. Clearly, Patek Philippe has made technical content a priority for the Twenty-4 Automatic as well.

The “original” iteration of the Twenty-4 remains in production, of course. Commonly referred to as the “manchette” (lit. “cuff”) model given its resemblance to a cuff when worn on the wrist, this shaped watch leans more towards the classic. The watch exudes understated elegance thanks to its two-hand dial layout, and is currently available in three references, all fitted with Patek Philippe’s E15 quartz movement.
Restrained yet impeccably stylish, the Twenty-4 collection offers a range of models to cater to contemporary women who demand a versatile timepiece that can be worn throughout the day. From the original Twenty-4 with its signature "manchette" design to the latest Twenty-4 Automatic, the line is as timeless as it is elegant.
