Reference 4936 was launched in 2005 in yellow and white gold, and was the first watch of the new generation of larger and more complicated ladies watches by Patek Philippe. The 37 mm case was set with diamonds on the bezel with a dial crafted from mother of pearl, giving the complicated annual calendar a very distinct look.
