Catalogue Essay
Released in 2021, the Patek Philippe annual calendar reference 4947/1A is a casually elegant calendar timepiece perfect for most, if not all occasions. Cased in stainless steel at 38mm in diameter, the timepiece is further paired with a matching five-row bracelet that gives it extra presence. The denim-esque blue dial features a stunning “shantung finish”, a type of silk plain weave fabric finish that showcases both horizontal and vertical patterns that rarely appears in the catalogue. The dial showcases three sunken subdials indicating the day, month, and moon phase, at 6 o'clock a date aperture is present.

Inside the timepiece is made alive thanks to the caliber 324S QA LU, which is fitted with Patek Philippe's Gyromax system and Silinvar hairspring. Preserved in excellent condition and barely worn by its owner, the present Patek Philippe annual calendar reference 4947/1A is further accompanied by its full set of accessories.

Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499.
