Patek Philippe’s domed table clocks are among the most precious of allcloisonné enamel treasures. Each piece is unique, often designed to thespecifications of its future owner. The individual elements of thedepiction in opaque or translucent enamel are separated by gold-wirecontours. The completion of an entire table clock of this kind requires18 to 20 meters of fine gold wire.
It is an extremely daunting task to enamel and fire curved surfaces.Only very few enamelists still consummately master this technique.Despite the difficulties involved, Patek Philippe’s enamel artists arecapable of decorating the prominent curvature of the dome withcloisonné enamel. |
