Patek Philippe 4947/1A-001 Annual Calendar SS Blue Dial

Patek Philippe's reference 4947/1A-001 introduces an exceptional twist to the annual calendar lineage by combining elegant complications with robust stainless steel—an extreme rarity for the brand's modern catalog. Released in 2021, this watch marks one of the few instances where Patek Philippe offers the annual calendar complication outside precious metals, giving seasoned collectors a coveted entry point. The beautifully proportioned 38mm Calatrava-style case is accentuated by a unique integrated five-row stainless steel bracelet, providing a seamless aesthetic and versatile wrist presence. Its striking blue dial features both vertical and horizontal satin finishes, recalling a 'shantung' fabric texture, and is further highlighted by white gold applied numerals for superb legibility and understated luxury. At its core, the automatic caliber 26-330 S QA LU delivers reliable annual calendar functionality, displaying day, date, and month with impressive mechanical efficiency, alongside a poetic moon phase complication. This movement upholds Patek’s vaunted technical standards in finishing and performance. The 4947/1A-001 is celebrated for blending everyday durability—with the practicality of steel and a 30-meter depth rating—with the refined hallmark complications of Geneva’s finest. Its combination of technical prowess, rarity, and contemporary design make it a sought-after contemporary classic for collectors and horological connoisseurs alike, especially those seeking an haute complication suited for daily wear.
