Catalogue EssayFused with traditional Swiss artisanal craft and technical excellence, Patek Philippe Dome Clocks are celebrated and admired by many esteemed collectors since its initial introduction in the 1950s. With each dome clock uniquely composed by master artisans at the manufacturer, they often depict a special motif elaborated with various mediums, including enameling. Named “L’aventure de la Voile”, the present Dome Clock displays a wonderful interpretation of a mystical tale of adventures at sea executed with the intricate technique of cloisonné enameling by acclaimed master enameller Elisabeth Perusset Lagger. Requiring a meticulous process of trial and error, the final result can only be achieved by the most skillful artisans of the craft. Referred as “clossons”, thin gold wiring are carefully sculpted to create an outline of the motif and soldered onto the gilt brass panel. Enamel powder is then applied to fill in the segments then treated inside a kiln with temperatures between 700 and 900 degree Celsius to achieve the vibrant colours portrayed. Decorated with mystical ships with large white sails set against a dreamy backdrop of the great seas, the vibrant colours depicted in the scene including shades of green and blue topped with a warm orange glow featured on the dome, it immediately captivates the attention of the viewer. Taking a closer look, the impressive details and texture displayed is further enticing to witness. Perhaps a unique commission by the original owner, the story of the present Dome clock from 1978 will remain a mystery. Offered in attractive overall condition and accompanied by a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming the production of the present example, collectors of fine timepieces will surely admire the fabulous sailing scene created by the celebrated master enameller Elisabeth Perusset Lagger.Read MoreMaker BiographyPatek PhilippeSwiss • 1839 Follow Since its founding in 1839, this famous Geneva-based firm has been surprising its clientele with superbly crafted timepieces fitted with watchmaking's most prestigious complications.
