Ordinary watch fans may not think that to complete the picture carving of a spherical table clock, the artisans of Patek Philippe need to use 18-20 meters of gold wire. After attaching such a long gold wire disc to the base, the artisans of Patek Philippe combined the opaque and translucent enamel materials and spray-painted or fired the enamel on the arc surface. It is not easy to ‘snap’ every vivid detail on the curved surface through the thin gold wire. It is even more challenging to complete the production process of enamel on the same highly curved surface. The difficulty of its production is manipulated on the dial and other planes, which cannot be compared.

 At present, there are only a handful of enamel craftsmen who are capable of this task at Patek Philippe, even fewer than those who are capable of making and maintaining Patek Philippe’s super-complex movements. Because of this, the Patek Philippe dome clock is the most precious representative of all filigree enamels. At the same time, because each clock is unique, its value naturally rises with the passage of time. It is also natural.
