Patek's 2021 Rare Handcraft collection is live!
Jun 16, 2021,09:03 AM
Dear All,
the 2021 Rare Handcraft collection was just released moments ago! Please see Patek's official site at:
As usual, we can admire a variety of crafts among these in- and out-of-catalog, special references, ranging from wood marquetry to several techniques of enameling, from engraving to miniature painting. Similarly to previous years, the 2021 Collection includes both wristwatches, pocket watches, and clocks. Of the six "in-catalog" models, four are minute repeaters.
This is the first selection of Rare Handcrafts to be offered since Fall 2019, when a few limited editions were produced on the occasion of the Singapore Exhibit. A very long 20 months....but it was totally worth the wait! ;-)
I'm traveling for much of today and tomorrow, so my apologies if I'll be slower than usual, but I will update this thread ASAP with further information and details as I receive them! ;-)
Hope you will enjoy these spectacular combinations of art and horology as much as I do! If I had to choose only one brand, and only one line of watches....my choice would be Patek, and its Rare Handcrafts collection!
Cheers.
