Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Ref. 4947/1A 2024 w/ Box & Papers

$69,950.00 NZD

The Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Ref. 4947/1A is a watch that marked a genuine first for the Manufacture. Introduced at Watches and Wonders in 2021, it was the first time Patek Philippe offered its Annual Calendar in a round, Calatrava-style steel case with a metal bracelet, bringing one of the most useful complications in its catalogue into a form that suits nearly every wrist at 38mm. The Annual Calendar itself is a Patek invention, patented in 1996, and its logic is simple and elegant: day, date, month and moon phase are displayed together, and the watch asks for a single manual correction each year at the end of February.
