Patek Philippe 4948R-001 Complications Ladies Watch

Patek Philippe 4948R-001 – Annual Calendar & Moon Phase with Jewel Elegance

The Patek Philippe 4948R-001 is a refined and radiant ladies’ complication watch that artfully blends functionality with jewelry craftsmanship. Designed in 18k rose gold and richly adorned with diamonds, this model delivers the sophistication of an annual calendar and moon phase within an elegant, wearable form.

Case & Jewel Setting
This watch is presented in a 38 mm rose gold case, which strikes a beautiful balance—visible enough to make a statement, yet subtle enough to remain graceful on a feminine wrist. The bezel and lugs are lavishly set with 347 brilliant-cut diamonds, totaling about 2.79 carats. The crown is also diamond-set, and the prong buckle features 27 additional diamonds, bringing the total gem count to 388 stones (approximately 3.07 carats). The gemsetting elevates it into the realm of high jewelry without compromising its horological substance.

Dial & Display
The dial is crafted from white Balinese mother-of-pearl, offering a delicate shimmer and natural iridescence that shifts with light. Rose gold leaf-shaped hands with white luminescent coating point to applied rose gold numerals. The display elegantly integrates the day and month by hands, with date in a window, and a moon phase indicator at 6 o’clock. The dial layout remains clean and balanced despite its multiple functions, maintaining elegance and readability.

Movement & Mechanics
Inside, the watch is powered by Caliber 26-330 S QA LU 443/1A, a self-winding movement built specifically for the combination of an annual calendar and moon phase. It features 319 components and 34 jewels, running at 4 Hz (28,800 vph). Its power reserve ranges from approximately 35 to 45 hours. The movement is fitted with a 21k gold central rotor for efficient winding and features high-end finishing visible through the sapphire case back.

Strap & Wearability
The timepiece is paired with a white pearly alligator leather strap, hand-stitched and with square scales, to complement the soft tones of the dial and rose gold case. The strap attaches via a rose gold prong buckle that mirrors the diamond setting found elsewhere on the watch. The overall proportions ensure that despite its richness, this piece remains wearable and elegant for both day and evening wear.
