Specialist note

Offered for the first time at International Auction, the present watch is one of the rarest and most desirable of all Patek Philippe’s skeletonized watches. The present watch is stunningly proportioned and supremely elegant. Furthermore, it is accompanied by a beautiful matching solid 18K gold chain with diamond-set clasp. Patek Philippe’s skeletonized watches are always incredibly special creations, only ever produced in extremely small quantities. A true masterpiece of both the watchmakers and jewellers art, the impressive case is richly set with white diamonds on the front and back bezels as well as the bow. It is incredibly thin, the entirely visible movement has been fully skeletonized and richly hand-engraved, to add to its delicacy and sophistication, it displays five-spoke wheels and the Patek Philippe ‘Calatrava’ emblem forms the spring barrel casing.

Undoubtedly one of the most precious and richly decorated of Patek Philippe’s ‘Haute Joaillerie’ timepieces, this watch will impress even the most exacting and discerning of collectors.
