Patek Philippe Annual Calendar 4946 White Gold / Blue Shantung Ref. 4946G-001

The Patek Philippe Complications 4946G-001 4946G-001 debuted in 2026 as a white gold version of the annual calendar with moon phases, combining a 38 mm case with a blue-grey dial and matching calfskin strap. Its case is crafted in white gold and measures 38 mm in diameter with a thickness of 11 mm. The case is fully polished, fitted with a non-gemset bezel, and features a sapphire crystal case back. Water resistance is rated to 30 metres. The dial is executed in blue-grey with a vertical and horizontal satin finish described by Patek Philippe as a “shantung” pattern. Applied numerals in white luminescent coating material are paired with sandblasted white gold leaf-shaped hands with white luminescent coating. The annual calendar display uses hands for the day and month, while the date is shown in an aperture at 6 o’clock together with the moon-phase display. Central sweep seconds complete the display. Inside is the self-winding Patek Philippe calibre 26-330 S QA LU. This movement combines the annual calendar mechanism patented by Patek Philippe in 1996 with moon phases and sweep seconds. It measures 32 mm in diameter and 5.32 mm in thickness, consists of 319 parts, uses 34 jewels, and is wound by a 21K gold central rotor. The movement operates at 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour and offers a power reserve ranging from a minimum of 35 hours to a maximum of 45 hours. It is equipped with a Gyromax balance, a Spiromax balance spring, and bears the Patek Philippe Seal. The watch is fitted with a blue-grey calfskin strap with a denim pattern and contrasting white stitching, secured by a white gold prong buckle.
