Only the second example to grace an auction, the Patek Philippe Twenty~4 reference 7300/1450R is a spectacular show-stopper with a round case and automatic movement, and a fully snow-set diamond pavé case, bracelet, and dial.
The first iteration of the Twenty~4 collection was introduced in 1999, with a rectangular case, flat link bracelet, and quartz movement. In 2018, no doubt in response to the demands of collectors, the Twenty4 collection was expanded to include a round case bracelet watch measuring 36mm diameter with an automatic movement, the reference 7300.
The fully snow-set case, dial, and bracelet is a more dynamic form of diamond pavé setting requiring exceptional skill. Diamonds of varying sizes are hand-placed by artisans in close proximity, giving the effect of sparkling light reflecting against fresh snow. It is an increasingly popular form of diamond setting for wristwatches, amplifying the “bling” factor. 2,854 diamonds adorn the case, totalling 16.3 carats.
Well-preserved in barely worn condition, this prestigious and flagship reference 7300/1450R is offered by the original owner and accompanied by its certificate and accessories.
