A new acquisition, 4947/1A, and I love every detail of it.

I nicknamed it “Levi’s” due to its blue dial with fabric patterns. The new steel bracelet is just as stunning. There are four buttons to set the date, month, day and moon phase for this annual calendar. The case size is 38mm by the way. One of the three stainless steel models in the Patek Philippe Complications collection.

You raised a couple of good points --- the 38mm of this beauty, which make it entirely suitable for both genders (despite the initial 4 in the reference number), and also the typical rarity of SS complicated (non-sports) models within Patek's catalog....a... 

Thank you very much for the kind words and insightful comments. I read them 3 times ;)

Good point that this is a unisex model “suitable for all wrists”, as Patek described it. I only learned recently that initial 4 and 7 are usually lady’s models for Patek. In this case, as it is part of the 4947 family, it makes sense to use the same refer...

I noticed that the 4947G-010 released earlier has this weaving pattern already, inspired by silk dress I gather. Please see a screenshot I got below. The blue pattern in 4947/1A looks to me more like jeans than silk . Cheers. ...  

Interesting observation !

Gorgeous watch. How does it feel on your wrist? Do you mind me asking how long was your wait? AD’s I ‘ve been to gives a 3-5 yrs wait ( w/c is crazy)

The piece is quite comfortable to wear, not too heavy and not too light.

I have not worn it for long period of time though. It will be for special occasions. I was very lucky to get this piece. There were many pieces I asked and the ADs just could not offer to me. I was lucky eventually there was one piece coming through. Good... 

Thanks for the comments and I am glad that you like this piece!
