Patek Philippe

Hi All, Here are photos of some of this year's enamel dials. To me, the motifs of the first two are unexpected and unusually interesting !! Unfortunately I have limited info on these watches. Your thoughts / comments ?? Gordon Motifs of Notre Dame and St....  

Thanks Gordon for posting these shots. I've been hoping to see what they had on offer in the form of rare handcrafts. While they may not be everyone's cup of tea, one can't help but admire and respect the craftsmanship and tradition these watches continue...
