The 4897 features an attractive guilloché lacquered dial, available in brown, midnight blue, cream and silver-grey, gleaming under the shimmering light of the bezel. Set with round or baguette-cut diamonds.

The Cheap Patek Philippe Replica size of the case is rather small at 33mm. Now its waist has been enlarged to 35mm. The extra space provides a better canvas to showcase the beauty of handmade dials.
The depth and shimmer of the dial is achieved through the lacquered guilloche. Also known as engine turning, guilloché involves carving a grid of lines, curves or polylines into metal to create patterns and shapes. Artisans use rose lathes for decoration.

For the modern woman, a self-winding watch is more practical, not to mention convenient. Patek Philippe had to send its workhorse calibre 240 to do the job. The Calibre 240 is Patek Philippe’s premier ultra-thin self-winding movement with an embedded oscillating weight in 22K gold.
