Hi Tom, you are correct in that thus far we have only seen "AP" which denotes
work done by her proteges and with her assistance & guidance.
Do you like any of the ones above ?
Cheers,

Hi All, here is my (partially completed) post which aims to show photos of rare handcraft wrist watches that may not appear in the video on youtube and Patek's website.
There are some amazing enamel pieces with complications that "exceed" the 5531 ! What are your thoughts ? Cheers, Gordon p.s. photos are downloaded from a post written in Chinese and distributed on the internet for the audience in China by a watch blogger...
Thank you so much Gordon!!! *Incredibly* beautiful... and with minute repeater as well, if I'm not mistaken!!
Please keep them coming whenever you have time, and thanks for sharing these unbelievable Pateks!
Hi Fab, yes, photos shown are all minute repeaters !
They all look good, especially the eagle ones ! Which one is your favorite ? Cheers, Gordon
Hi Gordon, they are all of course beyond gorgeous, but my favorite from your pictures is probably the 5539 (azulejos), at least judging from the theme and the merry color:-)
I hadn't seen them yet before your post, so thanks a lot... Are they also being displayed at Basel? Hopefully I'll have a better sense of what to apply for this year (if anything at all! after my AD and the daughter are there this weekend. Some of the 508...
Hi Fab, these photos were taken from the Basel event. Hence, you should have an...
opportunity to view them this weekend ! There are also some marquetry pieces. Please keep us updated ! Good luck ! Cheers, Gordon
Thank you Gordon for sharing
The MR tourbillon azuléjos is particularly my cup of tea. What a dial!!! Best wishes Alkiro
Hi Alkiro, you are most welcome !
The azulejo dial is exquisite but you know my heart lies with enamel dials. Cheers, Gordon
Hi Langeholic, your question about the 5131 enamel work is an easy one for me to answer !
To me, the dial is not over-rated, especially if one can get a 5131 at retail price. IMO, the dial on my 5131G is absolutely beautiful in terms of vibrancy and color graduation.
hi mj23, glad you liked the photos !
Unfortunately I do not think I will get to see any of them in the metal. Cheers, Gordon
wonder
if there are any dials done by Anita herself, so far the pieces shown are done by her proteges.

Hi frode, Glad to hear that you will see some of them this weekend.
Please post photos and your thoughts on these rare handcraft pieces. Cheers, Gordon
Hi Watchonthewrist, you are most welcome !
Glad you liked seeing these pieces. Which one(s) would you apply for if you were to get one. Cheers, Gordon
Hi Passionata, yes, these Minute Repeaters are excellent !
Matching enamel dials with high complications are an excellent combination. Cheers, Gordon
Hi Imran, I am happy that you attended Basel World and had the opportunity...
to see these beauties ! Cheers, Gordon
Hi keks, you are most welcome and glad to hear...
that you have enjoyed the photos ! Cheers, Gordon
What Do I think? - not thinking- blown away!!
I really look forward to your post. That’s a little cool about Patek, once you get to know them a little closer. They don’t always publish or promote these goodies to a a broader audience. Goodies they certainly make yours still my favorite, BTW ;-) Best ...
Hi Christian, many thanks for your kind words and I am happy that you were ...
blown away ! I will unlikely see these pieces ever in the metal but happy that I have been able to share photos with fellow PuristS. Cheers, Gordon
Thank you for the wonderful photos
Hi Gordon: Love to see your post. May I ask are these 2018 models?
Hi watch-fan, yes, watches in these photos are the 2018 rare handcraft...
watches. Cheers, Gordon
Hi Katzky1, you could always put in a request for a ...
unique piece with enamel Penguins ! Cheers, Gordon
thanks Gordon for sharing
I am partial to the enamel bird, how about you? which one are you getting?
Hi benzng, you are most welcome ! I like powerful motifs such eagles.
However, I need to sell some organs and limbs to raise the funds. Allocation is also an issue. LOL ! Cheers, Gordon
The Patek Philippe Blues
GLau, The eagles are "too strong" a subjects with too much tension. Nice as art pieces but not relaxing enough for minute repeater. I wonder what the rule is at Patek Philippe about marking their watches. I know that tourbillons always are marked 'Tourbil...
Hi MTF, if the eagle is too strong then that means you like the more hamonius enamel bird Minute Repeaters !
Is that correct ? Cheers, Gordon
Thanks frode for these photos ! Which one(s) do ...
you like ? Please provide your impression on the various pieces ! Cheers, Gordon
Thanks frode, this would deserve a new thread!!😀😍😍
The three models in your next to last picture, if I'm not mistaken, are from the new 5177 reference....do you have any info about it, by any chance? The first two are certainly Ponte Vecchio in Firenze and the Tuscany countryside, the third looks like som...
Found the reference you want to get for your daughter ! Is ...
this the chosen one ? If yes, great choice ! ...
Just as beautiful and collectible ! Why this one ...
out of the three in this series ?
Hi Fab, it would be great if Frode's daughter gets countryside and you get the seaside ! In such case, I hope you guys will ...
come to Asia for a GTG so that I could see them ! LOL !
Thanks a lot frode for the new pictures, and the *very* interesting official caption!:-)
This intensifies the charm and the mistery of the "Cinque Terre" (?) dial... I'm *really* curious now to figure out the exact location --- more than one of the five 'Terre', to me this looks a lot like a fantastic little borough on the sea called Boccadas...
Love the “birdies” !
Can we get this reference without this strange piece of metal sticking out on the left side ?!?
