I was in Basel 2013 and saw the beautiful Patek Philippe enamel watches collection. So many awesome Pateks over there.

What do you guys think about these kind of rare birds?.

Pictures credited to our uncle Google (with thanks) ..

The Macau Birds (comes in 3pcs set) ...

Flowers (I think) comes in 3pcs set too ...

Snake (comes in 3pcs set) ...

Arabian Falcon Hunting (unique piece) ..

Its def a work of art. I thou ,like my painting on a canvas. I also find VCs enamle to be more interesting.

Best

These pieces are definitely art on the wrist. I was unaware that Patek put out this many varied enameled varieties. While they all look incredible, it sort of takes away from the uniqueness, IMO.

stockjock1975 · 26 July 2013, 11:37 AM

Not my cup of tea at all. Beautiful, nonetheless......

Ramiks · 26 July 2013, 11:43 AM

The Arabian falcon hunting looks more than great, I'd call it a Royal piece of art.
Today I went through Arnold & Son website and noticed that they have beautiful decorative art woks, I also paid a visit to Alfardan after taraweeh and was lucky to see and examine couple of decorated pieces by VC.
Wish you all the best in your hunt ;)

Definately a work of art and requires great craftsmanship.

But personally not to my taste.

QueueCumber · 26 July 2013, 11:14 PM

Such gorgeous pieces of art. Pictures don't do them justice like the video on this page does, because they change character so much as you mvoe around them:

Bulliondesk · 26 July 2013, 11:57 PM

Art.. but not for me.

Puffy · 27 July 2013, 12:21 AM

i love them

i'd wear the bird on with a white shirt.

unknown · 27 July 2013, 12:33 AM

not for me, just 'too much'

They have a lot of these tigers, horses, fish, indians, masks, ...

great craftmanship but imo to much of a painting and not enough of a watch
The worldtimer 5131 is great and in this case the enamel is imo not overdone

SearChart · 27 July 2013, 12:51 AM

I really love them, I'd proudly wear any of them if I were such a lucky man to own of them.

blcblc · 27 July 2013, 01:23 AM

very nice & unique watches! love them

Toony · 27 July 2013, 06:49 AM

They are beautiful but not my style. They are unique.

h999r · 27 July 2013, 06:51 AM

Good to see it but I won't buy it.

texex91 · 27 July 2013, 07:57 AM

Very unique for a Patek collector like you.

perpetualman88 · 27 July 2013, 11:16 AM

I would love to have one someday. They are a true testament to the old style and art of enamel and watchmaking from long ago

Soly20 · 27 July 2013, 11:42 PM

Those are quite impressive. However I do not think they suit my current taste.

Exactly what I was thinking, I think enamel painting is a dying art and it's a real shame! I'd love to learn how to do such dials someday and in the meantime those watches show that it's possible to make real masterpieces in horology without having very complicated movements.

Thank you for sharing Khalid.

Would be great to have one here to keep the 5167, 3970er, 5110r... and the parrot company :)

That is an amazing parrot. Being able to tell the time upside down is an incredible feat!

HL65 · 3 August 2013, 07:42 AM

Pure wrist art my friend Khalid.....Nothing short of spectacular! Cheers,
