I have absolutely no idea.
I seriously don’t know how I would even begin to select one.
Not sure I could wear a watch with a Bi plane on its dial.
I am still trying to digest. I guess I would know if I saw them all in the flesh.
Still on the fence 🙈.

Hi All, thanks to a fellow member who went to Geneva, yours truly Patek enamel slave/addict moderator is please to
share these beauties with you all ! The AP (made by THE Anita Porchet team) dials and others are so fantastic. Naturally my favorite is the lion because of its amazing color gradations and perfect pairing with my Rousseau lion 🦁. What an excellent pair to...
That they didnt center the airplane propeller at the hands slightly anoys me
Think iam on team lizard but hm the lion ones are also there.
Thanks Gordon for sharing these pictures, and many thanks also to our member currently visiting this stunning Rare Handcrafts Exhibit in Geneva! ;-)
I won't repost it here as it's in the official announcement that I gave last week, but let me just briefly remind our readers that the full 2022 Rare Handcraft list is available in the 14-page press release in that thread. Since I believe the 2022 Rare Ha...
Hi Kevin, you are welcome and it is
my pleasure as your Patek enamel slave/addict moderator to share my passion with you and others ! Happy to "poison" you all with enamel pieces !
Of them all....
My choice would be the pocket watch with the man and woman dancing on the stone-paved street. The artistry in all of them is truly tremendous. Thank you for taking the time to share these here, Filip
You are welcome Filip !
Good choice with the dancing enamel pocket watch ! Best of luck to you !
great choice Spangles with the wood Cheetah which is
running so fast toward your wrist hopefully !
Wow!! 😮
Excellent choice with the Lion… I hope you do get the reference that you ask for! All are remarkable. Do you know if there are any marquetry watch references? Would be interesting to see what the theme is this year. I believe there was a hawk last year? T...
Well, I will get this Lion to join my enamel rousseau lion in
my dreams ! There is a marquetry cheetah in my photos. What do you think ?
I like the chameleons a lot
Colors and drawings seems to be exploding ... The only thing i am a bit disapointed about is the fact that the moment i saw it, i have called the Salons (in Paris) immediately to share my interest and ask to be put on the "list" for one of these (i prefer...
Thanks ..
I believe it is far from being done but i guess if you never try you will never been considered seriously ... so
You are welcome Miles ! Hope I was able to
poison you a bit more with these enamel beauties ! So which one(s) would you go for ?
I have absolutely no idea.

Stunning ! …
The craftsmanship is absolutely stunning and important skills to keep alive. Patek Philippe are the masters of this art. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I’ve been asking myself this question ;-)) …
The “Zebra” Ellipse, all three of the Aviators … but my personal wish list is endless ;-))
A very nice and enjoyable exhibition
I went on Tuesday. The pieces I enjoyed most were the zebras and this one below. This one has a nice treat (shadow of a small lizard) that is best seen when looking from far away rather than closely. Here I zoomed in but the picture was taken further away...
What a feast of artisanal handicrafts!
Love the Zebras - almost Escher-esque! I may have to be content with the one below I can't imagine ever getting my hands on one of these! Credit: Swatch ...
absolutely a feast which is almost too much to digest ! :-)
Which one is your top pick ?
What a glorious series
Patek really pulled all the stops on this line I would choose the wooden cheetah - love this intricate marquetry and the skill is up there with enamel (even beyond?)
They are different skills. To me, the marquetry
is great and mistakes can be corrected, whereas enamel once placed in the oven anything can happen which cannot be reversed. Both are great and just go for what you like best. Definitely less marquetry than enamel.
Thank you for this breathtaking post!
All the pieces are simply mesmerising works of art! My favourite has to be the circus clock! Love the way the clock face seems to be enclosed within, the tent below, and the performer on the top right corner! Is it a 3D illusion or is it more? Fantastic! ...
You are welcome and so glad that I was able to inject more
enamel poison to you ! Circus dome is a great choice. Do not understand your question about 3D illusion or more. What do you mean ?
Thank you Gordon!
One day perhaps, but as an art lover myself I love your posts on Patek's enamel pieces. What I meant was under the dome shows so much three-dimensional depth that it almost appears real. A pleasure to look at from your photo, and can only imagine what it ...
Dear Gordon, your Rousseau Lion by AP is certainly my favorite.
The reason being it’s interesting/ complex composition together with numerous variations in colour, especially over the green plants. Among the new collection, I like the zebra in GE case most, due to details and subtle colour gradient in the strips of ze...
Hi Henry, my Rousseau enamel lion 🦁 than your for your
kind words ! Yes, Zebra is a great choice, especially given that AP made it ! 👍 Wish you best of luck to get the horse 🐴
