Thks Emmanuel! You have unearthed many models that I have no clue existed. Thks for the research!
A most unexpected Patek Philippe dial
Have you ever seen this dial before ? For me, it's a complete and unexpected discovery . Patek Philippe describes it as “ Sunburst brown external dial, Tuscany center, applied yellow gold hour indexes ”. And, surprisingly , this dressy dial with an elabor...
Very interesting as all your posts are!
Given a choice, I do prefer the blue dial, but have a feeling that the other could very well grow on you. Liked the curved marquis (do you know any other references that have that too?😊. Also, as most pieces, there a lights that don't show off its best si...
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Or course, I like the curved marquis, as you rightly expected I would ;-) And if I could, I'd love to see both a 3598 and a 3798 in person! The fact that both ref. are manual-winding versions of the Ellipse is very much to my taste. Best, Emmanuel
An unusual piece for sure and I would be
interested to see it in the metal for both versions ! The decorated dial is seldom seen ! Thanks Emmanuel for these discoveries !
My pleasure, Gordon.
I would also be quite curious to see this watch in the metal. Best, Emmanuel
I wouldn't wear it, but I still like it
This looks more like a woman's watch to me, and it has some cosmetic issues on the dial, but I still like the overall appearance. Thanks for the excursion in the PP margins Cazalea
Thank you. I also think it's a woman's watch, but,
like you, I find it interesting and appealing in its own way. Best, Emmanuel
Looks like fabric...
...maybe the filled hands for contrast so they don't get lost against the dial pattern?
Yes, that's what I thought: gold hands would create a poor legibility.
Still, I'm not fond of them, though (but would love to see the watch in person). Best, Emmanuel
I like it ...
... as it represents the (historical) diversity of the brand. It´s quirky yet beautiful. The watch that came to my mind when looking at it is the Gilda from Eberhard & Co, still in production but at another level of watchmaking ;-)
Yes, very true: the dial is different, but the case shape is close.
“Quirky yet beautiful is well” said. Best, Emmanuel
