Hi 👋 all, Landed in the afternoon today in Geneva after a long journey with a connecting flight, and it was totally worth it because of a GTG with Anita Porchet, THE enamel queen ! 👸
Links to previous GTG with Anita that explained her journey. www.watchprosite.com www.watchprosite.com Knowing that I will be paying enamel homage, naturally I was double-wristed with her babies while traveling. After arriving hotel and then a quick showe

Rare Handcrafts 2024
Here are a few photos I took at the exhibition in London last week. Patek showed 83 pieces (highest number shown outside of Geneva). Superbly lit, which made it a pleasure to photograph. Enjoy, Baruch

Spectacular shots of this 5075 --- and sincerely glad to see it (along with its two siblings from the same series!) fared so well at the recent Sotheby's HK auction!
Ref. 5075 is one of the first modern Rare Handcraft references, and its historical value is hard to overestimate. Also worth noting that, thanks to Patek's determination and their leadership in this unique field, the progress made by Rare Handcrafts over

In full agreement! ;-) Hinged dust covers have a unique charm, in fact I'm glad they are also present in the Rare Handcraft production (namely, in Ref. 5089 and, most recently, Ref. 5189, both in G gold). Thanks for sharing! FabR
