The reference 5077’s case measures 38 millimeters in diameter, crafted from all four precious metals including yellow gold, rose gold, white gold, or platinum like the present model. It is powered by the ultra-thin Caliber 240, a self-winding movement with a micro-rotor.
This enamaled dial series, presenting yet another refined variation on the mandarin duck theme. The central composition features two ducks rendered with the same luminous detail, vibrant coloration, and meticulous gold-wire separation characteristic of the atelier’s work. In the foreground is a large mandarin duck standing prominently on a richly textured shore. A second, and much more refined smaller duck appears in a distance, depicted swimming on the rippling water, adding depth and narrative balance to the scene. The background consists of a deep blue enamel field evoking water, accented by fine gold lines that suggest gentle waves, while the lower section transitions into the shore. The Patek Phillippe logo has been re-located to the three o’clock position, right beneath the second smaller duck, perhaps a coincidence contributing a playfulness to the dial.
Fresh-to-the-market, this masterpiece is kept in the collection of the original owner since 2009 and kept in a single-sealed condition.
