  • Catalogue Essay

    Fused with traditional Swiss artisanal craft and technical excellence, Patek Philippe’s cloisonné enamel art has been the brand’s heritage jewel celebrated by esteemed collectors. Only the most skilled artisans were able to execute a beautiful and unique cloisonné enamel dial. It requires microscopic detailing by hand, small enough to create a finished portrait on the dial. The craftsmanship and man hours needed to create a cloisonné enamel dial to Patek Philippe standards is a painstakingly long process.

    Launched in 2003, the reference 5076 had an array of enamel dial designs, mostly in series of four depicting boats on the Leman lake, fishes or zodiacs. Over the production span of three years until 2006, around 120 examples were made in total, making these artisanal pieces rare treats for collectors. Cased in a perfect canvas of the elegant platinum rectangular Gondolo case, the full-rigged red gallion charters the waves of the seven seas. Intricately shaped with gold wires, the unsettling waves with a dash of white paints a vivid picture of an era where cargos and warships rule the sea. The series was launched with four type of distinct gallions in limited production. The present 5076P offered by the original owner is fresh-to-the-market in preserved in excellent condition and accompanied with its Certificate of Origin. Highly sought-after for its excellence, the present example is definitely a beauty for the connoisseurs with an appreciation of artisan timepieces.
