Would be an odd thing :-) With 4kB Sectors you still have

1 sector PMBR
1 sector GPT header
4 sectors GPT table (or rather 16kByte).

and the first partition starts at sector 6.

The size of the GPT table is not necessarily fixed though, 16kByte is just
the default which allows for 128 partitions. You can create larger
tables with the gpt tool, see the -p option.
