Not a big fan of the enamel animals but I respect the work that goes into making them. I admit I haven’t seen many enamel dials in real life so my opinion might change after seeing more in the metal. My favourites would be the marquetry dials. Nice collec...
Between the wood marquetry and enamell pieces I prefer the marquetry ones

I like execution of the finer details on them e.g. the stripes on the tiger and the fur on the rabbits. To think that it’s done by putting small pieces of wood together is just amazing. However not sure whether long term durability of the dials will be of...
Interesting comments !

Why do you think the 12 zodiacs are more popular in Japan than China ?
Amazing!!

Loved the whole series as presented. This should be saved into a book to be published on Patek enamel dials! Would be a great read!! I wonder if the wood marquetry dials will discolor over time? Also since it is wood, will the pulp fibers disintegrate due...
Thanks PP888 for your kind comments !

Should I approach a publisher to write a book on Patek enamel dials ? 😅 As to your great questions about marquetry dials, let me ask around and revert. Okay ?
Definitely!

encouragement ! Let me think 🤔 more about it first. Writing a post is one thing, but writing a book will be at a much higher level of research.
Amazing series!

Love that they don't stick to one theme/style throughout the zodiac - so much more interesting. Love the horses also for their link to a historical artifact; that they were made by the Ms. Porchet doesn't hurt 😀. But, wow, those tigers sure are striking! ...

Dear Gordon, Thanks for the fantastic post on the Patek zodiac series. My favourite is the tiger one due to obvious reason.... Among the enamel ones, I like to rooster most, as the composition is more balanced, filling up the whole dial.
Hi Art, these watches have

Hi Art, As mentioned in my post, rarity aside,

rooster is my favorite piece because of the motif and the elaborate enamel work ! Here is the characteristics of a rooster (ie you ) based on a Google search: They are deep thinkers and the Roosters' personality is considered to be honest, bright, communi...
