Patek Philippe

Theme was “rare handcrafts” and we hoped for 20 watches so that we could have more than the previous record of 19 pieces from the sports theme ( , which had beat the prior 18 watches from worldtime theme ( . Thanks to a new joiner, we had 33 pieces + th...  

Amazing collection, do you hire body guards for this, just wow...like a museum. I'm loss of words to think what is the favorite now...just drooling.

Please choose one rare handcrafts!

Also interesting to note that Nautilus is being wrapped like it’s more previous than other rare handcrafts, mind boggling 😜😅

“a kind of glazed coloured tile traditionally used in Spanish and Portuguese buildings.” They came out in Basel 2017. This 5711 green giant was on my wrist previously at a smaller GTG. Since the auction, the owner wrapped it up and I totally understand wh...  

Obviously, one piece in particular attracted my attention (if I really have to choose!), also because Michael's is the only other "Boccadasse" besides mine whose existence is publicly known... Good group also of 5131s, of course, but many of those out-of-... 

anonymous, except yours truly the Enamel Slave/Addict😉 Is the piece unique the 175th miniature painting ??

marquetry dial from 175th anniversary

too many !

seeing so many rare handcrafts pieces causing indigestion !! 🤣

I don't know if the word EPIC is the right word. There are epic movies and then there are EPIC ones. Is there a word beyond EPIC?

most EPIC ??

way to top this one ! 💪 A challenging task no doubt ! 😅

Not every location has a "lion's share" (pun intended) of enamel pieces!

traveling for many pieces 🤪

Travel hopefully will soon open up.

I'm sure you guys had a great time... I'm equally happy I don't see any Nautilus, which shows there are watch collectors & then there are connaisseurs ! thanks for sharing. Best, mahesh.,

Nautilus 5711 green giant ！

I wasn't expecting such a huge different between the 2 Lion dials. I prefer the one on the left, better drawn (the plant and leaves) and the colours used, way more vibrant.

The angle and lighting created the illusion that the left is more desirable 😉

Thank you for sharing!!!

The shape of the ellipse appeals to me the most for showcasing the artistry and framing the image of the bird. I think it’s simplicity let’s the beauty of the artwork shine. Just my two cents!

conducive for an enamel work of art !

It is my pleasure to share the joy of viewing rare handcrafts pieces !

I have one question: what is the red sqaure thing ? 🤔

Chinese zodiac watch for year of the monkey 🐵! Please see my previous post from several years ago

when I saw all the pieces brought in by the enamel king 🤴, I had a heart attack ! 😳

rare handcrafts?😉

global GTG for rare handcrafts!!

let me know before hand and let me organize a GTG !

In all seriousness, what a fantastic line up of watches. Amazing. Thanks for sharing.

none of the GTG pieces are for sale 😇

Wow!! Wish I was in your area of the world where GTGs are now coming back to normal. Very hard to find collectors willing to come out like that in my part of the collecting world! Again enjoy and WOW!!

Prior to the pandemic, I had some EPIC GTGs in the US.

Which 5131 yiu like the best ??

waiting for ??

Those pieces of are just exceptional. Great GtG🍷🍷🍷

I like 5088P the most, as I have a particular preference towards black enamel (other than blue) and those leaves pattern engraving. Too bad that this GTG clashed with my staycation.......

in the water 💦 is an EPIC photo ! 👍

I will happily settle for the white gold world timer please 🙏🙏

5131P ?

Don’t think I will ever be able to attend a GTG like this in my country

Why can your not attend such GTG at your country ?

forgot to open it up !😅

Amongst offers from various individuals around the globe, I was also competing against known names in the UK. It’s one of my favourite pieces in the collection. Miniature painting on enamel is extraordinary - certainly as the owner of one I can very much ... 

These pieces are just so beautiful and exquisite which showcases one of the deepest roots of Patek. This is truly what Patek is famous for and trying to preserve in the watch making horology. We, as enthusiasts, are so fortunate to be able to learn and ap... 

techniques for rare handcrafts are needed ! Regarding the 5088P fitting me well, I feel that I have been poisoned ☠️!! 😅

With or without an enamel dial, each Patek WT is iconic.

I wonder what theme you can do to top this GTG next time…

a PuristS who can be crowned as the “rare handcrafts” king 🤴 or queen 👸!

… to „ubiquitous handicraft“.

hilarious 😂!!

Some may rather take it as an insult to us mere mortals who toil away their days waiting to get to #428 on the waiting list… Cheers, Daniel

a milestone already ! 🤪

This collection of rare watches and enamel dome clock is amazing! Thierry Stern may want to request some of these watches on loan for a future Patek Exhibit ;-) The dome clock and the marquetry watch are what caught my eyes more than others, although they... 

rare handcrafts pieces contain both unique (dome clocks) and ones with up to around 10 pieces. Even for the ones with 10 pieces, since each is handmade, each one is truly unique. The Rousseau enamel lions 🦁🦁 are different !

This is unbelievable! What a mind blowing group of watches. I can only assume in person they are even more wonderful.

Yes, these rare handcrafts pieces are even better when you see and inspect them in the metal !
