Catalogue Essay
Every year Patek Philippe creates a limited series of highly decorative and collectible porcelain and enamel dishes, which reflects a historic Patek Philippe watch from their archives. These collectibles are not offered to the general public, rather they are gifted to top collectors. This pair of two Limoges and enamel vide-poche are in excellent condition and a reminder of the traditional historical past of Patek Philippe. “Le Vase Grec” from the 2003 collection commemorates a champlevé enamel pocket watch from 1923. The second plate, from the 2005 collection, with sun and star motif commemorates a dome clock celebrating Patek Philippe’s 150th anniversary in 1989.
