Patek Philippe Complications 4948R-001 'Ladies' Annual Calendar Moon Phases
$80,900.00
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The 4948R represents Patek Philippe's sophisticated ladies' interpretation of the patented annual calendar complication launched in 1996 as one of the manufacture's flagship innovations, combining the practical convenience of requiring correction only once per year with exceptional haute joaillerie execution. The annual calendar mechanism ingeniously distinguishes between 30-day and 31-day months automatically advancing through eleven months of the year, necessitating manual adjustment only when transitioning from February to March, offering superior practicality compared to perpetual calendar complexity while maintaining elegant simplicity in everyday use. This reference exemplifies Patek Philippe's philosophy of creating timepieces for women that deliver genuine mechanical sophistication rather than merely decorative alternatives to men's complications, appealing to discerning collectors who value both technical merit and luxurious embellishment in feminine proportions with current production status backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty and global service network.
The 38mm case crafted in 18-karat rose gold features bezel and lugs set with 347 diamonds totaling approximately 2.79 carats creating spectacular brilliance, crown set with 14 diamonds totaling approximately 0.06 carats, sapphire crystal, and exhibition sapphire caseback revealing meticulously finished automatic movement. The white Balinese mother-of-pearl dial displays natural iridescence creating beautiful light effects with rose gold applied Arabic numeral hour markers, rose gold leaf-shaped hands with white luminescent coating, two apertures at 12 o'clock showing day of week and month, date aperture at 6 o'clock, moonphase display at 6 o'clock featuring realistic moon and stars against blue celestial background accurate to 122 years, and center sweep seconds hand. Inside beats the self-winding Caliber 324 S QA LU manufactured entirely in-house featuring annual calendar complication, moonphase mechanism, 34 jewels, frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, and approximately 35 to 45 hours of power reserve. Matte pearly white alligator leather strap with square scales and hand-stitching secured with 18-karat rose gold prong buckle set with 27 diamonds totaling approximately 0.22 carats.
*This timepiece comes with the original hang tag and stylus.
