A timepiece in our days is no longer merely a time-telling instrument, it encompasses passion, power and a showmanship of technological innovations and traditional craftsmanship. Patek Philippe is indeed one of these historically important brands that has successfully brought new meaning to their timepieces by showcasing incessantly the skills of their diverse craftsmen - goldsmiths, gem-setters, enamellers which specialize in different enamel techniques - guillochée, cloisonné, champlevé and miniature painting, engravers, chainsmiths and spring-makers. The results of years of training, these skilled craftsmen blend technology and art to produce horological marvels which are universally admired for their virtuosity. Examples include pocket watches with miniature enamel paintings by Suzanne Rohr and the exquisite cloisonné and champlevé enamel dials that are a specialty at Patek Philippe. The present watch is a true display of craftsmanship combining the skills of an engraver and the art of champlevé enameling resulting in a stunning decoration of hand-engraved scrolls and champlevé black enamel dial. This highly decorative wristwatch pays homage to Patek Philippe's devotion to preserving the traditions of hand-crafted timepieces.
