The present reference 5077 features vibrant yellow eglantine roses crafted with cloisonné enamel. Each rose is meticulously created and captures the beauty of these blossoms. The use of enamel not only enhances the visual appeal but also adds depth and texture, making the dial a true work of art.

Enamel dials of the reference 5077 are crafted by hand using the ancient technique of cloisonné. This method involves creating a design on the dial by applying thin strips of gold that form borders between different colors. Often regarded as a 'lost art,' each enameller typically develops their own specially formulated colors, accompanied by a color chart for reference, as the appearance of the materials changes when heated. The process can be very time-consuming, as each color must be fired separately at distinct temperatures. This complexity increases the risk of failure, as the firing process is highly delicate; even the most skilled enameller may lose months of work due to unexpected cracking. Consequently, the unique creation process means that each watch in the series can be considered one-of-a-kind.
