Even before the rising trend of quiet luxury, Patek Philippe has crafted the Twenty~4 collection of classically stylish timepieces for the discerning modern woman
In the fast‑paced world of luxury watches, where innovation and design trends evolve rapidly, Patek Philippe’s Twenty~4 collection stands as a testament to the enduring elegance of the brand and its creations. Launched in 1999, the Twenty~4 was designed to be more than just a watch; it was conceived as a stylish and effortless companion for the modern, active woman, seamlessly fitting into the many dynamic facets of her life.
As its name suggests, each Twenty~4 watch can be worn round the clock and is perfect for any occasion, be it in the day or night. This continues to hold true today, 25 years since the first Twenty~4—an art deco‑inspired cambered rectangular watch in stainless steel equipped with a quartz movement—was launched.

Also referred to as a “manchette”, or cuff‑style, watch, the rectangular Twenty~4 is a feminine and sophisticated piece that complements anything from casual wear to business formal and even elegant evening wear. It comes in stainless steel as well as rose gold; both variants are set with two vertical rows of diamonds on the case. The dials of the steel models feature the applied Arabic numerals 12 and 6 as well as trapezoidal markers in white gold, while those of the rose gold models have the Roman numerals XII and VI, along with diamond markers.
There used to be only rectangular quartz models in the Twenty~4 collection, but in 2018, to cater to the varied preferences of contemporary women and their growing interest in mechanical watches, Patek Philippe introduced an automatic movement into the collection: the Twenty~4 Automatic. Besides being the first mechanical option in the collection for ladies, it was the first Twenty~4 to feature a round case.
