Patek Philippe Complications Moonphase

A ribbon of diamonds appears to spiral across the case of the Patek Philippe 4968G, transforming a traditional moon-phase wristwatch into a piece of wearable jewelry.

The Diamond Ribbon Joaillerie embodies two disciplines central to Patek Philippe: mechanical watchmaking and the art of gem-setting. Its asymmetrical arrangement of diamonds creates an impression of movement, while the mother-of-pearl dial reflects light differently with every turn of the wrist.

Beneath this elaborate exterior is a manually wound mechanical movement, a reminder that the watch is as much an instrument of traditional horology as it is an expression of jewelry design.
