Specialist note

With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present clock with black Breguet numerals in 2008 and its subsequent sale on 28 August 2009 and fitted presentation box.

To the best of our knowledge, this unique piece has never been offered in public before. The clock is from Patek Philippe's third series of celebrated and highly collectible "Dome" table clocks which are in production since 2008.

As the art of making such cloisonné enamel dome clocks is highly complex and requires skills from dedicated enamellers, the numbers produced are limited. These cloisonné enamel panels are of sublime quality with intense, vivid colours in excellent overall condition. Such examples are rare to find and therefore sought-after more than ever today by collectors.
