Stepping up in Patek Philippe's range
The Twenty~4 was introduced in 1999 as Patek's answer to a specific question: could the manufacture build a women's watch suited to daily wear without conceding any of its standards? The 4920G-001 sits at the dressy edge of that collection — a rectangular white gold case with 34 brilliant-cut diamonds set in two vertical rows along the bezel and a single stone in the crown, departing from the integrated bracelet of the classic 4910 references in favour of a black satin strap and an 18k white gold buckle. At 25mm by 30mm and 6mm deep, it lies against the wrist the way a dress cuff does — flat, contained, present without bulk. The grey sunburst dial uses diamond hour markers alongside applied Roman numerals at six and twelve, and the leaf-shaped hands catch light at angles the markers do not. The E15 movement inside is built with the same surface finishing Patek applies to its mechanical calibres — not a concession to quartz, but the manufacture's argument that the standard is the standard regardless of the escapement.

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 explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes 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 comparedWill 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 wristIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
