Accompanied by Patek Philippe Certificate of Origin dated March 1973 and signed Gübelin, Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with enamel miniature "Bunch of Flowers" in 1968 and its subsequent sale on 22 March 1973. Furthermore delivered with an original Patek Philippe brochure.

The enamel of the present watch is signed by Mrs. Suzanne Rohr, one of the last artists able to perpetuate the supremely exacting art of miniature painting on enamel. Mrs. Rohr, who will celebrate 40 years of collaboration with Patek Philippe in 2007, reserves her talent for the company. In her hands, the secret alchemy of the coloured enamels offers a second life of unequalled depth and finesse to some of the world's greatest art treasures.

Other examples of openface dress watches decorated with enamel miniatures signed Suzanne Rohr are illustrated in Patek Philippe by Martin Huber & Alan Banbery, p. 168, and also on permanent exhibition at the prestigious Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva, section "Enamelled and engraved pocket watches (1960-2000)".
