It's very nice. Although the "Email" on the sapphire glass seems like it's overdoing it.
Personally, while I like the Patek 5116G which has "email" written on the bottom of the dial to signify the enamel dial, I'm not sure I like it like this, so far up. Being on the sapphire glass is also a funny thing - I personally don't mind watches that are completely unbranded. So I'd possibly prefer a Patek Philippe with a clear sapphire glass without the PATEK PHILIPPE GENEVE EMAIL printing at all. That being said, it's a lovely piece. It reminds me that the Buddhist monks who spend days or sometimes weeks create mandalas destroy their beautiful artwork after its completion. A waste - but a reminder that everything is fleeting. And time is very fleeting. Yes, a Patek Philippe with a lot of meaning here.

Rare handcraft Mandala
This is my favourite RH after having seen quite a few now. ...
he is just keeping my up to date
and if I go for it he and some people at PP will support it to my knowledge. I am trying to choose one ;-)
Excellent subject choice by PP. Did he show you other mandalas and this your favorite…
or this is the only one he’s offering?
Hmm
I like this arabesque look- sort of like the VC tourbillon that was put out recently. For me, hard to tell what is going on. Looks like cloisonne black enamel and leaf work, then is the silver part diamonds? Or is that metal work on the dial? Can't tell f...
it is silver leaf under translucent enamel

not sure if it is on the glass but I will find out, good point
never thought about it and it would be a novelty for PP I guess
Sorry to offend, but this is gaudy and ridiculous.
I appreciate that PP are pinpin’ but this is ridiculous at any price. Apologies again… just my personal opinion.
A gorgeous dial!
While I do love many of the rare handicrafts dials as works of art, I wouldn’t wear the watch. I would feel strange with wearing horses, birds and whatnot on my wrist. However, this mandala version I can see myself wearing regularly. Not concerned about t...
It is a very complex dial. Hard to gauge the depth on a photo!
Do you have to decide without seeing it in the metal? Good luck!
Amazing dial! A beauty. Are those diamonds set in between the enamel?
I feel like this year, Patek's rare handcrafts have really hit it out of the park. And its not as talked about. from watches with amazing dials like this and the eclipses to table and wall clocks.
