Thank you for this post and lesson. Extremely informative and certainly needs to be documented as part of an enamel dial historical context and reference. I didn’t know the 5531 New York edition was also done by her!! 😮

You are welcome !

Glad you enjoyed taking more enamel

Is either in house or done by another atelier then? I’ve heard PP is increasing the amount of enamel work and other RHs they do in house?

Thanks for your kind comments Patekova ! It is my pleasure and duty to

Hope that the enamel poison went deeper this time.

You know what?

I've had two chances so far, and I kind of regret, so maybe the third one is the one 😜
