With Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming production of the present clock in 1981 and its subsequent sale on 25 May 1982.
To the best of our knowledge this Unique Piece has never been offered in public before. It is from Patek Philippe's second series, made between 1970 and 2007, of the celebrated and highly collectable "Dome" table clocks equipped with the improved 33QZ caliber from the Naviquartz collection.
As the art of making such cloisonné enamel dome clocks is highly complex and requires skills from dedicated enamellers, the numbers produced are limited. The present cloisonné enamel is signed by Alice Secretan. These cloisonné enamel panels are of sublime quality and with intense, vivid colours in excellent overall condition. To the best of our research, this signature is not very often seen on Patek Philippe timepieces. Such example are rare to find and today more than ever sought-after by collectors.
