As well as producing some of the finest and most complicated watches in the world Patek Philippe have also taken it upon themselves to preserve some of the worlds most complicated art forms. Of all the 'Rare Handcrafts' offered by patek Philippe, enamelling is arguably one of the more complex and visually striking artisanal techniques.

It is a skill that takes years of patient and dedicated practice to master every technique and skill required to successfully create such a work. It is an incredibly multi-faceted affair and the master enameller is required to control every aspect of the piece's production; from the mixing of the colours them, to their delicate application and, finally, their precise firing.

The present lot called ‘Bentley’ is a special request from the original owner and depicts a scenes of a Bentley racing through the countryside.

The clock comes with accessories, box and papers.
