Patek Philippe Complications 4946G-001 Annual Calendar Moon Phases White Gold Blue Gray Dial (2026)

The 4946G represents Patek Philippe's contemporary approach to the annual calendar — a reference that retains the manufacture's 1996-patented mechanism requiring only one correction per year while departing from the aperture-based display architecture of the 5396 in favour of subsidiary dials indicating day and month by hands, producing a more classical tricompax layout. The blue-gray "shantung" dial introduced on this 2026 reference is among the most texturally sophisticated dial treatments in the current Complications range — a double vertical and horizontal satin finish engineered to replicate the luminous irregularity of raw silk fabric, a surface quality that reads entirely differently from lacquer or sunburst finishing under varying light conditions. The matching calfskin strap with denim weave pattern extends the textile reference beyond the dial, creating a cohesive material concept.

The 38mm fully polished white gold case carries a non-gem-set bezel and sapphire crystal case back. The blue-gray "shantung"-finish dial presents applied white luminescent numerals, sandblasted white gold leaf-shaped hands with luminescent coating, subsidiary dials for day at nine and month at three indicated by hands, a moon phase and date aperture at six. A blue-gray calfskin strap with denim pattern and contrasting white stitching, secured by a white gold prong buckle, completes the reference. Caliber 26-330 S QA LU, self-winding with Gyromax balance and Spiromax hairspring, powers the movement.
