  • Catalogue Essay

    Fused with traditional Swiss artisanal craft and technical excellence, Patek Philippe's cloisonné enamel art has long been a heritage jewel celebrated by esteemed collectors. Only the most skilled artisans could execute such exquisite cloisonné enamel dials, requiring meticulous handwork to create microscopic detailing and portraits. The painstaking process and countless hours required to craft a cloisonné enamel dial to Patek Philippe's lofty standards is truly astonishing.

    Launched in 2003, the ref. 5076 presented an array of enamel dial designs, commonly in series of four depicting boats, fish or zodiacs. The present example depicts a pair of Bluecheek Butterflyfish swimming peacefully amongst an intricately shaped coal reef, vividly evoking the tropical waters. Glistering under the sea, shades of blue, yellow and red come alive through the delicate cloisonné wires of gold.

    Housed within the elegant platinum rectangular Gondolo case, this aquatic scene forms a perfect canvas. As part of a limited launch concluded in 2006, the present unworn ref. 5076P-023 with Certificate of Origin would captivate any connoisseur who appreciates Patek Philippe's exceptional mastery of artisanal timepieces.

    Well-known for the Graves Supercomplication — a highly complicated pocket watch that was the world’s most complicated watch for 50 years — this family-owned brand has earned a reputation of excellence around the world. Patek's complicated vintage watches hold the highest number of world records for results achieved at auction compared with any other brand. For collectors, key models include the reference 1518, the world's first serially produced perpetual calendar chronograph, and its successor, the reference 2499.

Patek is also well-known for their classically styled, time-only "Calatrava" dress watches, and the "Nautilus," an iconic luxury sports watch first introduced in 1976 as the reference 3700 that is still in production today.
