Patek Philippe

Knowing that I might be able to meet currently THE BEST enameler for watches in Singapore 🇸🇬, I brought the certificate with me just in case. When I spotted Ms Porchet, I approached her with a smiley face and introduced myself as her BIG admirer while sho...  

This might be the first instance where a certificate is worth more than the watch itself...Can you imagine if you put it up for sale: “Excuse me, does the certificate come with box and watch?”😂🥂

certificate instead of the watch ??😇

Boccadesse !!! Deal or not ?? 🤪

Yes, I would have asked her to sign

your reply !!

together ! I need you as THE horological translator because she speaks French !! 👍

She obviously timed her appearance well for you my friend!

leave the day before I went but somehow she delayed her departure for just ONE day !

The King of Enamel meeting the Queen of Enamel!! I salute you for actually bringing your certificate of origin with you!!

slave / addict !! 🤪

Congrats on the watch and what a great addition to your collection. The signed cert definitely is rare... I would say you now have a piece unique!

unique !! 🤣

It was great to meet you there, and to see your (her) masterpiece. J

we met !!

Congratulations 👍

Ulysse enamel Chinese zodiac watch as well !

honestly, having Anita Porchet sign your certificate is EVERYTHING, especially if she was involved in the painting of that piece !! I still remember LONG ago when she was exclusively with Jaquet Droz. She was much younger then but still was considered one... 

view the videos of her with Droz !!

click on the video below and do a search on YouTube as I remember that there were several with Anita Porchet The Jaquet Droz Ateliers d'Art

That is indeed special

special to me !

magical touch to match the color of the lion 🦁!!

Your enamel Calatrava is beautiful. Great you have met the artist / creator of your masterpiece. Cheers 🥂🍾 Geross

totally worth the trip !!

She signs at AP. When does she go to AP to design dials? Audemars would be mix a Genta and AP. Or treat a Nautilus.

charges AP (the enameler) a license fee to sign the initials AP ! 😂

You know how much I love this piece! I look forward reading more about in your next post. Now would I have asked her to sign the certificate? probably not. Because, Im not as smart as you! What a great idea!!! Well done my friend. best Christian

this signing ceremony previously with my Ulysse enamel dial watch. Hence, I just knew I had to bring the certificate with me JUST IN CASE I got to meet Madam Porchet !

I hope all is good with you 🙂

come for a GTG with the lion 🦁 soon !!

.. or if you get to Europe before I get to HK, please let me know. I want to meet the Lion King 😄

home and does not like to travel, hence it is very homely ! 😅 It looks forward to your arrival here. 😇

Lions are not great at traveling. I will look forward to meet it in HK then 😊 however, should his owner happen to be in Europe before I make it to HK, please let me know. That would be a great pleasure 🤗

Lions 🦁🦁 eagerly awaiting your arrival ! 😃 ...  

I promise I will keep you posted as soon as there is something certain

Congrats with the masterpiece and the certificate signed

honor to meet her and to get her autograph!!

Dials with A.P. are designed and supervised by her in her workshop; dials signed A. Porchet are actually made by her.

she signs the dials !

complete with its creator’s autograph!! 😄

I fondly remember meeting Ms. Porchet two years ago in NYC where we discussed your Rousseau Lion! What a wonderful artist and lady! And yes, if I owned a piece by Ms. Porchet, I would've asked her if she would do the great honor of signing the certificate... 

humble and friendly person. She has my absolute respect for her as an individual and an artist !!
