Introduced in 1999, the Twenty~4 was Patek Philippe's answer to a specific question: what does a dressy ladies' watch look like when the bracelet and case read as a single unbroken object rather than two parts tolerating each other. The rectangular case here is set with 36 brilliant-cut diamonds around its border and a further 10 marking the hours, with white gold Roman numerals at twelve and six and an onyx cabochon finishing the crown — a level of factory-set detail that keeps this reference firmly on the jewellery side of the line. This particular execution, with its Roman numeral layout, was discontinued around 2020 and replaced by a successor carrying Arabic numerals, which makes it the more classical of the two readings. At 25.1mm across and just 30mm lug to lug, it sits on the wrist in the way a fine bracelet does — contained, unobtrusive, the polished steel flowing without a visible break into the deployment clasp. The E15 movement inside is a quartz calibre built to Patek's own standards, 57 parts and 6 jewels, chosen here because it runs without the service interval that a mechanical movement would demand and keeps the profile at 6.8mm — flat enough that the whole thing disappears comfortably beneath a cuff.

Learn more about Patek Philippe

Antoine Norbert de Patek, a Polish cavalry officer exiled after the November Uprising, founded a watch business in Geneva in 1839 with his countryman François Czapek. The partnership dissolved after six years, and in 1845 Patek took on the French watchmaker Adrien Philippe, inventor of the keyless winding crown. The firm became Patek Philippe in 1851.

That single invention mattered more than any other in the company's early history: it removed the winding key, and every modern watch descends from it. Queen Victoria bought a Patek pendant watch at the Great Exhibition the same year, establishing the royal patronage the house has traded on ever since.

The Stern family, dial manufacturers and long-standing suppliers, bought the company in 1932 during the Depression. Four generations later it remains in their hands — the last independent family-owned manufacture in Geneva, currently led by Thierry Stern.

Patek's reputation rests on complications: the Calibre 89 of 1989 carried thirty-three of them, and the Grandmaster Chime remains among the most complicated wristwatches made. The Nautilus, drawn by Gérald Genta in 1976 as a steel luxury sports watch, became an unlikely commercial phenomenon four decades after launch.

Production stays deliberately modest, in the tens of thousands annually, and every watch carries the Patek Philippe Seal, an in-house standard the company adopted in 2009 after abandoning the Geneva Seal as insufficiently strict.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch

Can I swim with it?

No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.

Water resistance explained

Will the glass scratch?

Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.

Sapphire, mineral and acrylic compared

Does it need a battery?

Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.

Quartz, automatic and solar compared

Will it fit my wrist?

Lug-to-lug is 30mm, which suits wrists from roughly 15cm (6 inches) upward.

Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.

How to size a watch to your wrist

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as women's.
