Overview
A gem-set Calatrava around an enamel dial
The Patek Philippe Rare Handcrafts White-faced Ibis, reference 5077/213R-001, a Calatrava in rose gold with a cloisonné enamel and miniature-painted dial of the ibis and 77 sapphires, 45 amethysts and 19 rhodolites on the bezel, lugs and buckle, on a shiny royal purple alligator strap. Self-winding calibre 240; 38 mm, 8.3 mm high.
The dial of 5077/213R-001 is a white-faced ibis, the wading bird of the marshes of the Americas, in Grand Feu cloisonné enamel. The plumage took about 57 cm of gold wire (~0.23 g); the enameller worked from a palette of semi-opaque, transparent and opaque enamels in 57 colours and finished the gradations with 6 colours of miniature painting on enamel. Each dial took about 9 firings at 780°C to 840°C. The bezel and lugs are set with 59 sapphires (0.56 ct), 38 amethysts (0.24 ct) and 15 rhodolites (0.15 ct), the buckle with 18 sapphires (0.1 ct), 7 amethysts (0.05 ct) and 4 rhodolites (0.11 ct); Patek Philippe totals them at 77 sapphires (0.66 ct) shading from yellow to purple, 45 amethysts (0.29 ct) and 19 rhodolites (0.26 ct). Patek Philippe describes the case as humidity- and dust-protected only, not water-resistant. Patek Philippe presents it as a limited edition of ten watches, on a shiny royal purple alligator strap.
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.
