Patek Philippe 5077P-061 Rare Handcrafts Calatrava Carousel

The present reference 5077P-061 is a unique rare handcrafted Patek Philippe Calatrava Carousel Green produced in 2011. Only a handful of watches from the 5077P Carousel series were made in a 38mm platinum case. It features a polychrome cloisonné enamel dial with the depiction of a carousel horse.
Over the years, Patek Philippe has promoted and mastered the intricate art of rare handicrafts, including enameling, which is abundantly evident in this timepiece. From the use of 0.10mm thick gold ribbon for the partitions to applying techniques such as “paillonné” enameling (the art of covering small ornamental motifs with translucent enamel), the dial required the dedicated attention of a master enameller and engraver for over a week in order to render this beautiful work of art. To reach its final form displaying 7 enamel colors, the dial was put through 6 to 7 sequential firings.
Besides the enamel work, the dial is decorated with four round gold spangles acting as hour markers at each cardinal point. Hours and minutes hands in “Dauphine” style are made of white gold.
This stunning timepiece is a part of a limited series of 4, each unique model having a different dial color.
Visible through the sapphire crystal case-back is the self-winding Calibre 240, an ultra-thin movement hand finished and decorated to the highest standards, stamped with PP seal.
This unique work of art is offered on a hand-stitched black alligator strap with a platinum buckle.
