Catalogue Essay
The present lot is a rare and unusual jewellery suite featuring a lady’s Patek Philippe timepiece, accompanied by matching earrings and a ring. Each piece in 18k yellow gold with a twist rope design and enhanced with teardrop-shaped coral and pave-set diamond links.
Patek Philippe produced the reference 4321/1 between 1976 and 1978 and displays a strong characteristic of individualism. It is believed each suite was made in a very limited number and in variation from other examples. One known suite included a lady’s bracelet wristwatch and necklace and was made with chrysoprase-in place of the coral-, black onyx and pave-set links.
The present lot comes in lovely overall condition and has a wonderful 1970s vibe. The extract confirms the production of the watch with coral in 1976 with an approximate diamond weight of 6 carats.
