Watch Info
Manufacturer: Patek Philippe
Model: Annual Calendar
Condition: Excellent (Pre-Owned)
Reference: 4936G-001
Year: 2008
Box: Yes
Papers: Yes
Accessories: Complete Set. Includes Patek Philippe presentation box, 2008 Certificate of Origin, all original documentation, leather folder, and original Patek Philippe red leather strap.
Notes: The 4936G-001 is Patek Philippe's most refined expression of the Annual Calendar complication in a ladies format — a 37mm 18k white gold case set with a diamond-paved bezel and crown, housing a mother of pearl dial of exceptional natural beauty. The Annual Calendar complication, patented by Patek Philippe in 1996, automatically distinguishes between months of 30 and 31 days, requiring only a single manual correction at the end of February — a practical and intellectually elegant solution that defines Patek's approach to useful complications. The mother of pearl dial adds a dimension of natural artistry that no manufactured material can replicate — each dial is unique, with the characteristic iridescent shimmer of natural nacre shifting between white, cream, and pale blue depending on the light and angle. Mounted on the original Patek Philippe red leather strap, this 2008 example is a complete and fully documented piece of serious feminine horology.
Condition Assessment
Overall Condition: Pre-Owned - Excellent. This 2008 example has been carefully preserved and presents in excellent cosmetic condition throughout. The white gold case and diamond-set bezel retain strong original finishing. Note: A light professional polish would return the case to a factory-fresh condition.
Dial, Hands, & Crystal: The mother of pearl dial is pristine — the natural nacre surface is intact with its full iridescent character and no marks, scratches, or discoloration. The annual calendar apertures are perfectly aligned. The applied white gold indices and hands are in perfect condition. The sapphire crystal is mint and free of any chips or scratches.
Case, Bezel & Crown: The 37mm 18k white gold case retains strong factory lines. The diamond-paved bezel is in excellent condition — all stones present, secure, and bright. The diamond-set crown is equally intact and functions perfectly. Note: Light surface marks are present on the polished case flanks consistent with careful use — a light professional polish would return these to factory condition.
Strap & Clasp: Fitted on its original Patek Philippe red leather strap in excellent condition with minimal signs of wear or creasing. The white gold prong buckle is clean and functions perfectly.

Why the 4936G-001 is Patek's Most Elegant Annual Calendar
The Annual Calendar complication sits at a unique intersection in the Patek Philippe catalog — more practical than a perpetual calendar, more intellectually sophisticated than a simple date, and in the 4936G dressed in a combination of materials that elevates it firmly into the territory of fine jewelry watchmaking. The mother of pearl dial is not merely decorative — it is a natural material of genuine rarity whose optical properties change with every shift in light, ensuring that no two viewings of the watch are identical.
The diamond-set bezel and crown on the 4936G-001 position this reference as one of the most complete expressions of Patek Philippe's ability to combine serious horology with precious stone setting — a discipline the manufacture has practiced at the highest level for over 180 years. A 2008 Certificate of Origin complete set example on the original red leather strap represents exceptional value for a white gold diamond-set Patek Philippe annual calendar — a combination of complications, materials, and provenance that would require a significantly higher budget to replicate from current production. For the collector who wants Patek Philippe's most wearable complication in its most refined feminine expression, this is the answer.
