This unique and striking small desk clock by Patek Philippe epitomizes the brand’s artistry and technical innovation during the 1980s. Crafted in 18K yellow gold, the geometric case is richly decorated with alternating bands of lapis-lazuli and brilliant-cut diamonds, totalling approximately 6.01 carats. The bold chevron motif and vivid contrast between gold, blue stone, and diamonds lend the piece a distinctly modern interpretation of the Art Deco aesthetic.


Weighing 429 grams, the clock houses Patek Philippe’s renowned Beta 21 quartz movement, a groundbreaking development in Swiss horology that marked the dawn of high-precision electronic timekeeping. The faceted glass front reveals a minimalist gold dial with diamonds-set baton hands, underscoring the brand’s refined sense of proportion and elegance.


Offered complete with its original presentation box and certificate, this unique piece stands as a rare example of Patek Philippe’s fusion of horological innovation and decorative craftsmanship—an objet d’art of exceptional quality and presence.
