Patek Philippe Complicated Calatrava Travel Time Ladies Watch 4934G. Box & Cert Dated 2012.

At Baselworld, Patek Philippe introduced a splendidly feminine version of the Calatrava Travel Time, reference. 4934.  The new traveller's companion for women expands Patek Philippe's collection of complicated ladies' watches. To tell the time at the owner's present location and concurrently at her permanent residence, the Calatrava Travel Time possesses two separate hour hands that move synchronously: a prominent hand for local time and a skeletonized one for home time.  Now that traveling across 24 time zones has become commonplace for many people, the Calatrava Travel Time belongs to the category of useful complications with relevance to the owner's everyday life; it shows home time and local time at a glance. This technically complex function presents itself in a particularly charming way.  Its elegance is showcased by the diamond-set bezel. It sparkles with the fire of 48 flawless Top Wesselton diamonds totalling about 1.02 carats, creating a sparkling aura of eternity. The ever-changing lustre of the genuine mother-of-pearl dial adds a further dimension to the sensuous appeal of this watch. The hands of the Calatrava Travel Time are driven by the manually wound caliber 215 PS FUS movement which consists of 178 superbly finished individual parts. It exhibits all of the quality features that characterize Patek Philippe movements, such as bevelled steel parts and bridges, steel pinions with hand-polished leaves, carefully applied decorative patterns on the main plate and bridges, and the Gyromax balance invented and patented by Patek Philippe. It beats at a rate of 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour (4 Hz) to assure rate stability. The many complex work steps and inspections required to assemble this movement take several months to complete.
