My favorite part is...
I really like the transition from light to dark shades in the rose petals. That to me is much more impressive. In some Cloisonne Enamel pieces, the transition is not as well defined, and I feel the mastery of the color transition is a higher skill within the art of enameling. For instance, and don't get me wrong, I think it's a beautiful piece, I imagine the Ulysse Nardin San Marco minute repeater's (note the San Marco is technically "Champleve" enamel not cloisonne enamel) enameling process to be easier because the colors used in many blocks are all the same color meaning there's very little transition in color and shades within the same cell.
Going back to transitions; perhaps even more difficult is when the transition is not from a light pink to a dark red, but when it transitions to a an entirely different color within the confines of a single cell (like green to blue). The Piaget doesn't practice this in the case of the Rose because the rose petals would all naturally be the same color in nature.
Overall, I really like this Piaget piece and I applaud it for the exceptional color transition from very light pink to very dark red within the same cell.

That is a beautiful watch!
Thank you for sharing the painstaking cloisonne enameling process. Always a special sight to behold.
We have never seen the Rose cloisonne work before
Indeed, in the past we only featured the Dragon - Phoenix cloisonné work but for the Rose it was miniature enamel painting. This is the first time for me to see the Rose Passion in cloisonné version. It adds a 3-D effect, I think. Regards, MTF
