Notes
This Patek Philippe 'Dome Clock' is presented in superb overall condition and stands as a striking example of the brand's renowned, intricately enamelled dome clocks.
Uniquely crafted, this one-of-a-kind piece was featured in Patek Philippe’s prestigious 'KunstWerkUhr' exhibition at the Kunsthalle in Munich, October 2013. Its three gracefully curved cloisonné enamel side panels, along with the dome and dial, are adorned with exquisite floral and foliage motifs inspired by the famed Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory designs of Munich.
Highly prized by collectors, Patek Philippe's dome clocks are celebrated as singular works of art, hand-decorated by leading contemporary enamel artists. Rarely seen on the open market, these remarkable timepieces exemplify Patek Philippe’s mastery of both modern technology and traditional craftsmanship.
