Set of five minute-repeater tourbillon wristwatches with dials in miniature painting on enamel.
Old views of Geneva inspired the decoration of these five wristwatches in Grand Feu miniature painting on enamel, each one a unique piece.
The famous landmarks include St Pierre cathedral and the Grand-Quai, home to the historic Patek Philippe building, and are depicted here in a style reminiscent of azulejo, the famous blue and white glazed ceramic tilework that first appeared in Portugal and Spain in the sixteenth century. To create this unique trompe l 搃l that even reproduces the relief of the tiles, the enameler painted each picture in monochrome, building it up in small deft touches with a range of blue oxides on a ground of white enamel. Each dial required from 10 to 15 firings at temperatures ranging from 800掳C to 820掳C bringing the average enameling time to 100 hours.
The white-gold case houses the caliber R TO 27 manually wound movement with minute repeater and tourbillon or the caliber R TO 27 PS with the addition of small seconds, either of which may be admired through the sapphire-crystal case back. The watches also come with an interchangeable back in solid white gold.
