Blast from the past has arrived
This rare handcraft has joined my collection. It is part of the 175th anniversary edition (2014), features the calibre 240 and the white gold dial is hand engraved in the low relief technique taking up to 108 hours.
The first owner kept it double sealed so I had lots of fun to open it. The original dark blue strap is nice but I changed it to glossy brown which suits the dial better imo.
Very happy about this piece of art - it is subtle and not too gaudy and thanks to the dark hands also quite legible.
Some impressions attached… 😁

This is quite the pair.
Both, for me, on the more contemporary side of Patek RH. Which is what I like. Congratulations.
Many congrats on the 5089G-015
5088/100P-001 looks great with the blue strap. I collected one couple of months ago and still waiting for an orange strap
Huge congrats in hunting down this double-sealed RH !
The depiction is so life like and has a good 3D effect ! IMO You are now starting to trend towards becoming an engraving slave/addict. What is next on your target list ?
Oh, nothing in mind currently
Waiting for next years RH releases and enjoying this one for the moment - thank you!
Impressive, this “Breeze and storm” 5089G-015!
And the engraved hinged case back is a very nice detail. Do you know which painting served as an inspiration (I found it for the three other white gold engraved dial 5089G, but not for this one)? Thanks for sharing.
In fact the source of inspiration
seems to be one of the many postcards representing a sailing boat on the Léman, like this one. eBay (photo-discovery the shop!) ...
you are correct
the other three motives are based on paintings, this edition is a rather typical scenery
