Whilst it may not everyones cup of tea I think one can't deny the workmanship. Obviously it's a baccarat object with a PP movement versus being manufactured in house like the enamels. If I remember you have a very ornate hand carved dining room table which would lend itself to this mastery. I am not a huge fan of carriage clocks either but I wouldn't say no to a faberge or Cartier one just for the artistic merit. If you like it tell Jamie he needs to try harder or you are going to insist on a 5131P!

Do you like 5271P with the red diamond?

I like this enamel clock, but Jamie can't offer this to me. Pictures from internet.

That is a beautiful dome clock. Is it a unique piece? I have heard many dome clocks are unique pieces.

Here is a watch that you may want to consider instead. I got to see the 5271P up close and the diamonds are not that distracting.

I saw real 5271p and like the black dial. I am waiting for a good deal before I go for it.

Hi Karls:

5131P is impossible from Jamie. I have try another AD if I real want a 5131P.

I have to see a real clock before I can decide the clock.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Also consider the 5131j .... it was the first one :-)

The enamel dome clocks are cool but I'm. It interested in a Quartz solar movement

I could be wrong but aren't all these enamel done clocks unique? I have the 4 different patek rare handcrafts books , they contain a lot of these dome clocks and if I remember correct it said every dime clock is unique

I believe each dome table clock is unique, but every person likes differently.

It is not me.


This is my 5976. You can see it is big and heavy even inside the plastic.

Let it breath Brian. The damn thing is suffocating in that plastic. If she is too big then why did you buy her if you don't mind me asking... trade bait?

Can't see anything inside plastic--cut it open and put it on your wrist. Then tell us it's heavy

From the photos alone, I like the new 5170P. I would like to see it in person though. Somewhat concerned about Patek over-producing the 5170P.
