    Astoundingly attractive and uniquely crafted by distinguished enamellists at the Patek Philippe manufacture, enameled dome clocks are always a delight for esteemed collectors of fine timepieces. Over the years, Patek Philippe has displayed numerous techniques and styles of enameling in their rare handcrafts selection of timepieces including cloisonné, champlevé, paillonné and miniature painting on enamel. With every single technique requiring extreme precision, perseverance and persistence to execute, it is without any doubt enamellists associated with Patek Philippe are the most respected in the industry - such as Suzanne Rohr as well as the enamellist who executed the present piece, Marie Françoise Martin.

    Paillonné enameling is a technique that can be witnessed on the present dome clock. Composed of fine and tiny pieces of gold leaves, the leaves are applied on the surface to create a motif. Each leaf is hand-treated and is further etched to achieve a detailed motif. Once the “paillons” are set on the surface, enamel is then applied on top and fired in a kiln under extremely high temperatures until the perfect result is achieved. It is truly amazing how a single speck of dust can ruin the result of the enamel, and when that happens, there is only one option: to restart the whole process again.

    The present, unique Patek Philippe solar dome clock made in 1993 is an elegant and exquisite piece featuring paillonné enamel birds against a beautiful blue enamel background. The contrast of blue and gold is stunning, and one that is adored by collectors. The dial further features decorative enamel corners executed in the same style. A wonderful specimen like the present example doesn’t surface often, presenting a fantastic opportunity for the connoisseur.
