Cuban Double Bassist
I find particularly nice this 2022 Rare Handcrafts Calatrava , ref. 5089G-113, featuring a Cloisonné Enamel dial depicting a Cuban double bassist . What about you ? Only 6 examples were made, all with a 38.6 mm white gold case. Best, Emmanuel credit: @une...
I like it a whole lot (how could you not?)
I hadn’t seen this one yet. And I really love seeing that the owner in the first photo has worn it regularly (thank gosh someone’s wearing the heck out of these things).
This one is particularly nice!!!!!
I love how thought has gone into integrating the case with the artwork (I’m not sure if it’s intentional, but I’d like to think it is). The artwork depicts a couple of old time astronomers sitting on what is is likely the moon; one is gazing back at earth...
I like them for the craft, but…
…to me I’ve rarely seen anything with a more contemporary feel. There are some exceptions, but buyers of these pieces are generally of a certain taste and knowing this Patek obviously cater to the known knowns. I do wonder if they’d step out of that safet...
Some pieces with very modern or contemporary dials have been made (surfers, etc.).
And I'm not always fond of them, contrarily to this one, which I find appealing. Best, Emmanuel
But even those, there is something old fashioned about them.
I tend to like these, and similar iterations. Credit : The Keystone Credit : Analog Shift Based on a Japanese Kimono. Picture Credit : Unknown but like Patek. ...
Yes, the floral motifs are nice.
The ones I personally don't respond to at all are these ones... credit: Sjx ...
Hi Emmanuel, this is a lovely piece and the color patterns are great !
Look at how the brown of the instrument matches well with the different shades of green in the shirt, building and leaves ! A spectacular enamel dial IMO but I am BIASED !🤣
Yes, I find it very well done too, Gordon!
Probably not Anita Porchet's work (?), but still very well done. Best, Emmanuel
Beautiful
The rare handcraft references are amazing. This one is especially beautiful.
