Patek Philippe’s timepiece is an elegant wedding day watch
This wedding day watch from Patek Philippe will look chic worn with or without bridal attire

In this wedding day watch, warm metallic tones lend a welcome toughness to the cool whites of a wedding dress, with chunky rose gold chain links adding an androgynous touch to the femininity of frou-frou frills. Patek Philippe veers away from the overly delicate in its only collection aimed solely at women, translating the clean design codes of its traditionally male collections into the women’s Twenty-4 collection of watches.
Here, rosy hues and double diamonds marry well with feminine flourishes in this piece that makes an elegant foil for the fun of a wedding dress.
A dial embellished with a subtle pattern that recalls the grainy textured finish of silk is juxtaposed with the smooth finish of rose gold and edged in a double loop of diamonds for a sporty luxe finish. A round case and the uncluttered simplicity of the face make this the ideal choice for a more casual celebration. The warmth of the gold in the Twenty-4 collection adds an effortless wearability to this timepiece, which will work with every look.
Add this watch to a bridal look for a modern take on matrimonial elegance. For further wedding inspiration, let us introduce Weddingpaper*, Wallpaper’s first dip into nuptial nirvana, as seen in the October 2021, 25th Anniversary Issue and coming to Wallpaper.com throughout this week. Forget the conventional and the staid; here, tradition comes with a twist and frou frou frills with a velvet blue mule.
Whether it’s pairing the cool metal hues of a rose gold wristwatch with the billowing folds of an In-Grid Bride gown, or juxtaposing a luminescent Mikimoto pearl brooch against the mischievous polka dots of a Dunhill shirt, brides and grooms are sure to find something style wise to love. Wedding guests, too, take note: our chic and sculptural guide to timeless gifting puts the days of mismatched china long behind us, making for a very modern take on wedded bliss.
