I'd like to add some embroidery dial examples to the dial universe of the 5-digit DD. I came across these specimen while researching into the large pavé.
The first one is a 18238 sold in October 2022 for around 30k.

The second one is an older 18138 sold at the same auction for 57k.

The pattern is very similar. I think I like the first one more with the larger flowers/diamonds. I don't know where the inspiration came from for such embroidery dials. It has an oriental flair and reminds me of Mudéjar, a spanish/moorish art style when most of Spain was an emirate. I have no idea of the visual effect irl. Never seen one and not sure if these were part of crown collection models normally. Being mounted on a 18238 one could argue against it.
