Patek Philippe Twenty~4 Automatic: Singapore price and review

As a young watch writer many years back, I remember being extremely taken by Patek Philippe’s Twenty~4 collection. The elegant manchette watch was a gateway series to one of the most illustrious watchmaking brands and I thought, “one day, I’ll get a Twenty~4”.

Of course, the main 'drawback' of the Twenty~4 then (for fans of mechanical watches, at least) was that it ran on a quartz movement. While many women very much appreciate the accuracy of quartz, and the fact that we don’t have to wind up the watch even after not wearing it in a while, mechanical watches are often always more highly regarded by 'serious' collectors. And for good reason. Expert craftsmanship, technical know-how and meticulous assembly process all contribute to a mechanical watch’s value and allure.
