What is special about the Patek Philippe Ref. 4947 Annual Calendar watch for ladies?

Well, the Ref. 4947 model has the touch of Patek Philippe designer Sandrine Stern. She is the wife of Thierry Stern, president of Patek Philippe.

Sandrine Stern had reworked the annual calendar watches for ladies and what resulted is a more refined case and new Arabic numerals on the dial.

Diamonds are set on the bezel and an additional line of diamonds can be found along the case band.
