- Introduced in 2005, the reference 4936G represents Patek Philippe’s elegant approach to the annual calendar, a complication first pioneered by the maison in 1996. Requiring adjustment only once per year, the mechanism offers both practicality and mechanical sophistication within a classically proportioned case.
- Housed in a 36.5mm white gold case, the reference 4936G is distinguished by its balanced silhouette, gently stepped bezel, and restrained profile—hallmarks of Patek Philippe’s mid-2000s design language that bridge traditional aesthetics with modern wearability.
- The present example is elevated by its rare and visually captivating black mother-of-pearl dial, offering a rich interplay of iridescence and depth. Depending on the light, the surface reveals subtle tonal shifts—from charcoal to deep anthracite—adding a layer of dynamism to an otherwise classical layout.
