Description

Patek Philippe is more than just a manufacturer of fine timepieces but is also masters of traditional mechanical art. Dedicated to preserving rare handicrafts, Dome clocks are one of the most celebrated mechanical artistry other than their fine timepieces. Encompassing traditional crafts such as enamelling, guilloche, engraving and gem-setting, Patek Philippe never fails to execute their crafts to the highest level of perfection.

While early examples of the Dome clocks featured a solar panel on the domed top, the modern iterations are no longer featured with them. Instead, like the present example, it is powered by a manual calibre 17”’Pend.

With its body sculpted with hand-carved Baccarat crystal in a bevelled-diamond shape, the dome is engraved with rosettes on the dome top case. Hand-crafted by the best French artisans for crystal engraving, it takes up to 70 meticulous hours to execute the full engraving of the Baccarat crystal.

Enchanting, elegant and attractive the Pendulette dome clocks were released with various colors and offered in two sizes. The present example in white crystal is preserved in excellent overall condition and is accompanied by the full set of accessories.
