Patek's 2021 Rare Handcraft collection is live!

Dear All,

the 2021 Rare Handcraft collection was just released moments ago!  Please see Patek's official site at:


As usual, we can admire a variety of crafts among these in- and out-of-catalog, special references, ranging from wood marquetry to several techniques of enameling, from engraving to miniature painting. Similarly to previous years, the 2021 Collection includes both wristwatches, pocket watches, and clocks. Of the six "in-catalog" models, four are minute repeaters.

This is the first selection of Rare Handcrafts to be offered since Fall 2019, when a few limited editions were produced on the occasion of the Singapore Exhibit. A very long 20 months....but it was totally worth the wait! ;-)

I'm traveling for much of today and tomorrow, so my apologies if I'll be slower than usual, but I will update this thread ASAP with further information and details as I receive them! ;-)

Hope you will enjoy these spectacular combinations of art and horology as much as I do!  If I had to choose only one brand, and only one line of watches....my choice would be Patek, and its Rare Handcrafts collection! none 

Cheers.

Thanks my friend, one of my favorites as well, and I believe the only wood marquetry wristwatch this year! ;-) Thread updated also with a couple of table clocks among today's timepieces. Cheers ;-)

thanks for letting me know. All the models are out of reach, but this year is a good harvest.

My pleasure Shun, indeed a pretty gorgeous and very diverse lineup this year! My best recommendation is to show interest with your AD or Patek, if you like a specific model -- of course the competition will be stiff, but you never know! ;-) Cheers.

A great way to look at it! ;-)) I'm normally not interested in table clocks or pocket watches myself, but they are definitely *big* works of art as well! ;-) Thanks for commenting.
