Patek Philippe Calatrava Diamond Ribbon Joaillerie Ref. 4978/400G: Swirl Into Infatuation

Creating a diamond-set watch is not at all as easy as many think, but when done right the result can be spectacular - as is the case with the Patek Philippe Diamond Ribbon Joaillerie Patek Philippe shows that this is possible: the Diamond Ribbon Joaillerie features a diamond-set swirl on the dial outlined in white gold resulting in something that is playful yet not overly so What if you were to fit the Diamond Ribbon Joaillerie with a strap made of jeans fabric and wear it casually? I think it would suit both occasions equally well, and that is something not too common for diamond watches.

To create this design with brilliant-cut diamonds is quite a challenge, as each diamond has to be placed just right but also be of precisely the right size, otherwise the effect is ruined The Diamond Ribbon Joaillerie is part of the Calatrava family and features a very elegant case 36.5 mm in size The beauty is also that Patek Philippe even sets diamonds on the sloped edge that connects the bezel to the case back.

Because this caliber is so slim, the overall height of the Diamond Ribbon Joaillerie is a mere 8.23 mm. . Source
