Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Moonphase Reference 4937G-001

Partially verified

This Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Moonphase, reference 4937G-001, is a wristwatch featuring a 37mm white gold case decorated with 472 diamonds, totaling approximately 3.23 carats across the bezel and lugs. The timepiece utilizes a mother-of-pearl dial with applied Arabic numerals and includes a day and month display via dual subdials, a moon-phase aperture positioned above the six o'clock marker, and a date window located at the six o'clock position. The movement provides an annual calendar complication, engineered to distinguish between months of 30 and 31 days, requiring manual adjustment only once per year. The watch is presented on a strap with a diamond-set buckle and is accompanied by its original box and a Certificate of Origin.

Object description

Case and Dial

The watch features a 37mm case constructed of white gold. The design is characterized by an extensive use of diamonds, with 472 stones totaling approximately 3.23 carats set into the bezel and the lugs of the case.

The dial is rendered in luminous mother-of-pearl, which creates varying tones when exposed to light. Legibility is maintained through the use of applied Arabic numerals and hands. The arrangement includes dual subdials for the day and month, a moon-phase aperture positioned above the six o'clock index, and a date window located at the six o'clock position.
