Patek Philippe 4978/400G - Calatrava

 

A NEW VERSION OF WHITE GOLD AND LARGER DIAMETER

 

The Patek Philippe Diamond Ribbon Joaillerie is offered in a new white gold version with a slightly larger diameter (from 33.3 mm to 36.5 mm). It thus adds even more presence to its original setting of diamonds that revolve around the case like gymnasts' bands, and to the spiral of graduated-cut diamonds adorning the dial.

 

Under this luminous aesthetic, it beats an extra-flat self-winding calibre 240, which enables the watch to retain a fine and elegant profile.
