To celebrate its 175th anniversary, Patek Philippe launched a prestigious collection of watches for this significant milestone. The brand allocated a small number of pieces for its Rare Handcrafts distribution, and the present watch is one such limited edition, retained in excellent overall condition and inspired by the artworks in Mr. Philippe Stern’s personal collection.

Set in a 38mm platinum case, the dial features a captivating depiction of Lake Geneva Barques, enhanced with an Anita Porchet signature. Anita Porchet is a master enameller, widely regarded as the leading enameller in the Swiss watch industry today. Celebrated for her exceptional dials and cases, she decorates pieces using refined enamelling techniques such as cloisonné, champlevé, plique-à-jour, Grand Feu, paillonné, and miniature painting. Her miniature artworks have been created for many major watch brands, including Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Piaget, Fabergé, and others.

Initially offered as a set of four wristwatches featuring the iconic traditional Lake Geneva Barques, this watch showcases the remarkable skills of the artists and the beauty of the finished product.
