Patek Philippe has long been at the forefront of innovative mechanical complications and in 1995 they introduced their first self-winding annual calendar, the reference 5035. The annual calendar requires a manual correction only once per year between February 28th or 29th and March 1st. Since that time, the annual calendar mechanism has been used across various collections from the brand from the elegant reference 5396 reflecting the iconic 3448, or the reference 5906, the sporty annual calendar chronograph wristwatch released in 2015.

The reference 4948 was released in 2015 as part of Patek Philippe’s Jaoillerie collection for women. Offered in both white gold and rose gold, the watch is an elegant, luxurious wristwatch with diamond-set bezel and shimmering white Balinese mother-of-pearl dial. The easily readable dial features a triple annual calendar with date window at 6’clock with moon phase, and subsidiary dials for day and month. The caliber 324S QA LU is fitted with Patek Philippe's Gyromax system and Silinvar hairspring. According to the Certificate of Origin, the case is set with 388 diamonds for a total diamond count of 3.068 carats.

Preserved in virtually unworn condition, the present Patek Philippe annual calendar reference 4948G-010 is further accompanied by its full set of accessories. The reference is still offered by Patek Philippe, and this is a rare opportunity to own exceptional mechanical and gem-set timepiece.
