Enamel dials are new to me. I knew they exist but I never put much attention to them.
Untill I saw this piece. Imo it is pure art.
This enamel dial is amazing, the combination with the white gold case is ... WOW

Only one very bad thing. They are unaffordable and even if you could afford such a piece , they are so rare that the chance of getting one is something like 0.0001 % (What I heard is that Patek makes only a few dozen of those pieces ... per year ! )

But just look at it.
And if you can't appreciate it, try to read more about cloisonne enamel.
This is VERY VERY VERY difficult to make. In fact, there are only a few people in the world who have the skills to make these dials

I've always loved the 5130, and hope to see that version in person someday.

the world time is one of the best PP pieces and I love the cloisonne art work...

went to a cloisonne factory making vases a while back in China (guess they were under French rule back whenever) and its sheer artistry...

As I understand, the WG is Europe/Asia/Africa and the YG includes the Americas:

Tony, do you happen to know if these objects of art are available in the UK ?
Or is it a similar disaster, meaning only 1 piece fot the UK ? :-)

Hi Bruno
Unfortunately like you I have not had the pleasure of locating one.
A couple of weeks ago I was up in London & Stratford upon Avon and none of the dealers had one, unless of course they were hiding them in their vaults!!
The "Biggest" piece that I saw was a BNIB 5970P
