Of course I should have known! ;)

It is a spectacular piece and I can only imagine how special this is, adding to the fact that its art is based on a favourite area of your home town!

I completely understand how it will be rather challenging to acquire all the pieces given the various owners, but of course it makes sense that they do showcase the entire yearly collection prior to releasing them to the world. Perhaps one day in the future they may be able to assess the achievability of at least having pieces loaned to them for a one-off exhibition.

Thank you again for these wonderful photos of this stunning piece!

5089G-104, which is part of PP’s 2022 rare handcrafts collection, is absolutely amazing.

Thanks for the pic, Filip

Thanks Volker for sharing this stunning Rare Handcraft -- it can hardly get any better than this!! ;-) So like I did in my origina thread, let me add a few more details for all of our members, since I believe they are not on Patek's site yet.

This 5089G-104 is part of the " Lion, rhinoceroses and buffaloes" trio of 5089Gs, all limited editions of 6 (six!) pieces dedicated to some of the main inhabitants of the African savannah: A lion in majesty surveying its territory at sunset (5089G-103), r...

Thanks, Fabrizio.

Looks like a picture of a unicorn.

+1, at least on a metaphorical level, that's actually an excellent description for ALL of these Pateks! ;-)) PS: The actual animals depicted on this 5089G-104 are rhinos, with Mount Kilimanjaro on the background👍

I am very excited, I just heard from my AD.....

I may be able to obtain a rare handcraft. He asked me to rank my order of preference. Do you have any pictures to share?

That'd be WONDERFUL!! Please see my thread below from last week with the official announcement, which included some of the Rare Handcraft pics and the 14-page release with the full details! Best of luck and keep us posted!!! ;-)

The real question is where will all these artisans be 50 years from now

Top class!

Is that a rhino skin strap?

By: montecristo#2 : April 1st, 2022-23:02

It’s an alligator, but posing as a rhino😉👍

Amazing indeed! Patek must create some sort of gallery for all their Calatrava enamel pieces!

By: KCLQMULKU : April 2nd, 2022-18:32

Here it is, at least in print (I keep it in Italy)....I still have to pick up the 2020/21 (triple) book though, and then hopefully later this year the 2022 :-) Enjoy.

Oh wow! Do you have a favourite from the entire collection (objectively speaking of course! ;) )

By: KCLQMULKU : April 2nd, 2022-18:39

I always wonder whether in the future the company will create a section in their museum dedicated to the entire range, perhaps even acquiring various missing pieces at auction?

Of course, for personal reasons the 5177G-010 "Boccadasse" from the 2018 Collection will always be my favorite watch EVER -- hardly something can be more precious to me than having my favorite spot of my hometown on the dial of my beloved brand!! :-)

Patek does occasionally buy back some meaningful watches from collectors, via auctions or other means, and the Geneva Museum of course already features several important Rare Handcrafts (though mainly from past centuries). Creating a complete gallery of *...
