The extraordinarily rare and exquisite Patek Philippe Calatrava Reference 5077/100R-001 from the 2012 “Peacocks” Rare Handcrafts collection, stands as a supreme masterpiece of horological artistry and high-craftsmanship. Crafted in 18K pink gold, the timepiece’s enduring appeal is centered on its mesmerizing mother-of-pearl dial. This delicate canvas features a magnificent peacock design, brought to life with meticulous precision using the demanding technique of cloisonné enamel.

The creation of the cloisonné enamel dial is intricate and immensely demanding, requiring the expert artisan to use 60 centimeters of gold wire to outline the complex peacock motif. Followed by a minimum of 12 distinct enamel colours and paints are applied within the gold cloisons (compartments). The dial then undergoes a minimum of 12 separate kiln firings, each reaching high temperatures over a cumulative period of 45 hours, to fuse the enamel powders into a brilliant, permanent glaze.

This timepiece is carefully set with 141 diamonds, totaling approximately 1.109cts, adorning the bezel, lugs, and buckle. The visual opulence of the dial is elegantly framed and enhanced by this dazzling array of diamonds.

Reference 5077/100R-001 is powered by the ultra-slim in-house Caliber 240 celebrated for its accuracy and precision. Produced in extremely limited quantities, this timepiece is offered in single-sealed condition and full set, making it a highly coveted collector’s treasure, representing the pinnacle of mechanical and artistic achievement.
