Notes

This lady?s watch is an example of the incomparable quality of all Patek Philippe timepieces. While the manufacture is famed for its exceptional complicated watches and its haute joaillerie watches are less known, the present lot proves to what extent Patek Philippe's haute joaillerie watches are remarkable both in terms of jeweler's craftsmanship and watchmaking skill. As shown in the Extract from the Archives, the present lot is set with 84 baguette diamonds on the dial and bezel (a total of 5.33 ct) as follows: on the bezel, 24; on the bracelet, 8 rows of 4 (32) and 8 rows of 3 (24); on the lugs, 16 round-cut diamonds (0.21 ct); and 469 round-cut diamonds on the dial and bracelet (2.49 ct).
