  • Catalogue Essay

    Launched in 2007, the Patek Philippe ref. 4934G is a brilliant feminine version of Calatrava Travel Time. Designed to dazzle frequent flying yet style-conscious ladies, this elegant timepiece is framed in the iconic rounded case, entranced by a beautifully frosted diamond-set bezel. Like a halo surrounding the dial with a blinding effect, the bezel is adorned with 48 white round diamonds that total an estimated 1.02 carats.

    Featuring an opulent, lustrous mother-of-pearl dial that simultaneously displays two time zones, it is fitted with two individual hour hands that move in synchrony, indicating the local time with the solid feuille hand and the home time via its hollowed counterpart. Thanks to its 24-hour subdial at 12 o’clock, one can easily tell whether it is daytime or night-time at home.

    Presented in excellent overall condition with its original accessories and boasting an elegant but sporty aesthetic, this mesmerising dual-time wristwatch is the ideal flying partner that can be dressed up or down, depending on its wearer’s lifestyle and the present example Patek Philippe lady’s ref. 4934G is the 5th example to appear at auction.
