Overview
A gem-set Calatrava around an enamel dial
The Patek Philippe Rare Handcrafts Pink Typography, reference 5077/100R-068, a Calatrava in rose gold with a champlevé enamel and hand-engraved lettering dial and 112 diamonds on the bezel and lugs, on a peony pink calfskin strap. Self-winding calibre 240, hours and minutes; 38 mm, 8.3 mm high.
The dial of 5077/100R-068 is champlevé enamel with hand-engraving. The engraver carved the words Patek Philippe Genève into the dial plate in a lettering the brand traces to the back of a hunter pocket watch the brand showed at the 1867 Paris Exposition — by its account the most complicated timepiece it had made at the time, with a minute repeater, jumping seconds and a second time zone. The enameller then filled the cells in two colours, one transparent and one opaque, in several layers; after about 10 firings at 665°C to 670°C the engraver returned to the lettering to give the characters volume. The bezel and lugs carry 112 brilliant-cut diamonds (0.87 ct), the rose gold prong buckle 29 diamonds (0.24 ct); Patek Philippe totals them at 141 diamonds (1.11 cts). Patek Philippe presents it as a limited edition of ten watches, on a peony pink calfskin strap with salmon stitching.
The reference 5077 is the Calatrava of Patek Philippe's Rare Handcrafts collection: a round case 38 mm across and 8.3 mm high, with a sapphire crystal back and a bezel, lugs and prong buckle set with stones chosen to the palette of the dial. Dauphine-style hands in the case metal show the hours and minutes.
The movement is the self-winding calibre 240, which Patek Philippe lists as ultra-thin: 27.5 mm across and 2.53 mm high, with 152 parts and 27 jewels, wound by a 22K gold minirotor set off-centre in the movement rather than a full rotor turning above it. It runs at 21,600 semi-oscillations an hour on a Gyromax® balance with a Spiromax® balance spring, has a power reserve of at least 48 hours and carries the Patek Philippe Seal. It is on view through the sapphire crystal back — the one part of the watch, beside the dial, that Patek Philippe invites the wearer to look at.
For collectors
Patek Philippe matches the stones on the bezel and lugs to the palette of the enamel — a gradation of sapphires for a bird's plumage, baguettes of two colours around a butterfly, diamonds around engraved lettering — and the strap is chosen to the same palette.
