The following four lots attest to the creativity and craftsmanship which live and breathe at Patek Philippe. Well known for their master complications, the firm also manufactures the world's most elegant cloisonn? enamel dial wristwatches, with each enamel dial painstakingly painted by hand employing traditional techniques. Every year, Patek Philippe will release unique limited edition series dedicated to a variety of appealing subjects. These enamels can only be produced in highly limited quantities and all of which are unique. This present series is inspired by the Year of the Dog which is the 11th cycle of the Chinese Zodiac. Those born in this cycle are known to be some of the most positive people around. Interestingly, the Year of the Dog in 2006 was also known as the Fire Dog Year, which many Chinese associate with the colour red signifying dynamism, strength and persistence. Such pieces are not only highly sought after by the Asian markets and those born on such years, but are also highly collectible works of art collected by people all over the world. These same desirable attributes are thus reflected in these four wristwatches and their manufacture Patek Philippe - the strength of the company within the world of horology, their persistence in the pursuit for excellence and, the dynamism the firm has shown for almost the last 175 years. Offered in unused condition, this is a rare opportunity to own a unique limited edition wristwatch manufactured to the highest quality which will endure for generations to come.
