The details of the miniature painting are more apparent in person

From photos, and seeing it from a distance at the exhibition, I had found it a bit difficult to distinguish the details of the tree and the leaves. With a closer look, the light does give more three dimensionality to the image and the details really come into view. My close-up photo does a better job of capturing this, but it is still not doing a great job of capturing what it truly looks like in person.
I also found the peach color to a lot more interesting in person than it appears in photos. It feels pretty unique as I don't recall seeing this shade of color used much before, and certainly not in the volume seen on the caseback or dial of this piece.

I stopped by my AD this weekend and saw a very surprising item in the display case! A very lucky collector (not me!) managed to get the allocation for the 995/135G "Eagle" - King of the sky pocket watch from the Tokyo Grand Exhibition in 2023. It was fun ...  

Amazing piece and glad that you saw it !

With “A Porchet” as the signature, this unique piece is very collectible ! How did the details look in the metal ?

Yea, that is correct. I'm certain prices vary for each piece depending on its details, but I rarely see definitive pricing information on Rare Handcraft pocket watches listed so it was interesting to note. Honestly, I would have guessed a higher price and... 

for the lucky guy that got the allocation
