Lot Essay
With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present watch with lapis lazuli dial in 1975 and its subsequent sale on 30 November 1976. The Extract further confirms that the bracelet is in yellow gold and that there are 26 diamonds on the watch of 1.91 carats.
The present watch is a very rare gem indeed. It charms by its unusual flower face form, a harmonious blend of intense blue lapis lazuli and glimmering diamond against the warm gold of the case, flower head rim and bracelet. The intact lapis lazuli dial is beautifully framed by the 26 diamonds on the bezel and the ten petals of lapis lazuli. A marriage between jewelry and fine watchmaking, this watch further impresses with its original and hardly worn condition. More than just fresh to the market, this lady's watch is the only reference 4322/1 to have ever appeared at auction.
