The Patek Philippe Twenty~4 in its myriad elegant variations has been a great success for the famous Genevan watchmaker, attracting many ladies who cannot resist its combination of grace, luxury, and of course, the cachet of the Patek Philippe name.  For 2008, Patek has added two incredible new 18K white gold variants.  The first is the Ref. 4910/52G, which dazzles with its 2,457 diamonds whose total weight amounts to 12.65 carats! The custom pave setting is especially remarkable, making each of these precious timekeepers a truly unique work of art.

Equally beautiful, if only slightly more subdued, is Patek Philippe’s Twenty-4 watch, Ref. 4910/48G, which gives off an air of exceptional sophistication. Here, 499 round brilliant diamonds converge across the case and bracelet to form a lovely and captivating Art Deco design.  I particularly love the visual continuity created by the diamond pattern going through the bracelet right down through the Roman 12 and 6 figures on the dial.

Patek Philippe is rightly famed for its mastery of the greatest watchmaking complications. However, the manufacturer’s skill with haute joaillerie is no less impressive, and these Twenty-4 watches are a fine demonstration of this. Understanding the importance of  jewelry ensembles, Patek Philippe offers breathtaking, matching earrings for both the Ref. 4910/52G and the Ref. 4910/48G watches.
