Notes

Property of a German family. Just like all other cloisonné enamel pocket watches by Patek Philippe of the time, each one was crafted with the greatest skill and love as unique pieces. This particular example was acquired new by the family of the original owner along with other enamel pocket and wristwatches by Patek Philippe. This particular portrait was painted by MrsPellarin-Leroy (J.P.L.) and along side Mrs Suzanne Rohr, both completed their studies at the "Ecole des Arts Decoratifs" in Geneva before becoming master enamelers at Patek Philippe. This particular scene "Three Musicians" is attributed to the "Master of the Female half-lengths" which was an artist or a group of painters active in Flanders in the XVIth century. Kept in a safe since its purchase it has remained untouched and in as new condition.
