Wood marquetry is indeed in a category of its own, due both to the incredible technical ability required and its *exceedingly* rare production... Suffice it to say that only one artist (J. B.) is authorized to produce these dials for Patek! ;-)

I humbly received one of his pieces (ref. 5089G-020) as part of the 175th Anniversary RH releases (2014-15):
Once again, many thanks for your interest in this most exclusive area of Patek's catalog, Dauster. Each and every Rare Handcraft produced by the Brand is a marvelous example of "wearable art," and I sincerely wish you the best in receiving an allocation!
