Catalogue Essay
Today, more and more women appreciate the appeal of a complex movement, especially if it is combined with the wondrous appeal of a truly fine look. For them, Patek Philippe combined the best of both worlds by creating the reference 4958 with a moon phase – one of the most romantic and poetic complications. Featuring a beautiful mother-of-pearl and guilloché dial, the present watch exudes a sense of decorum and elegance unlikely to be missed by watch lovers. The center of the dial is guilloché with a wave pattern that contrasts gorgeously with the softly shimmering mother-of-pearl surround in white. Made of dazzling, brilliant-cut diamonds, the attractive bezel further completes this sophisticated work of art for the wrist.

Adding an element of intrigue, the present watch has a simple but unusual dial layout. The moon phase display is easily legible in its prominently large aperture at 4 o’clock. The diamond hour markers, the slender numerals, and the leaf-shaped hands accentuate the elegance of the watch.
