The beauty of enamel watches 7
A lot of people here have seen this one before, but I think with the different light source and angles, we still can see more detail and outlines... ...
Michael
you should have your own exhibition! You are the enamel King!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Michael for sharing another fantastic enamel dial !
In addition to the enamel work, the Clous de Paris bezel makes this reference special IMO. A few days ago, I read up on the most colorful cities in the world and the Italian one that inspired this motif was featured in number 11 of the article.
Nope, they do look similar Gordon (and they are only 115 km apart), but like I was saying the two places are different...
The one in your picture is Manarola (one of the Cinque Terre), while the dial is Boccadasse (a neighborhood very much inside of Genova)😉🥂 Manarola Boccadasse ...
Thanks Fab for the clarification !
Questions: Did Patek confirm the Boccadesse location instead of Cinque Terre for the motif ? To a non-Italian like me (although I love Italian cuisine, wine🍷, etc.), the two scenes look the same to me ! LOL !! 🤣
Yep, when I told Patek they obviously agreed the location is Boccadasse (they are similar, but if you look closely you'll find at least 1500 differences..;-)
The point is that the name "Cinque Terre" is famous worldwide, so it makes more sense to use it for the broader area...I know Boccadasse because I'm from there, but hardly many people outside of Italy have even heard the name
Both the watch and the place depicted on its sublime dial...
... are pure Magic!! Thank you Michael and Fabr for sharing these shots!! Best cordial regards Abel
