拍品資料及來源

附帶原廠證書、後補資料庫精萃及錶盒。

此652/268J型號「生命天使」彩繪懷錶上的琺瑯微繪,取自十九世紀義大利畫家Giovanni Segantini的著作,備有G. Menni, 95的落款。G. Menni為聞名遐邇的微繪琺瑯師,在1980至1990年代後期為百達翡麗製作約50幅微繪琺瑯作品,其微繪技藝之精湛與Sussan Rhor齊名,是少數可在百達翡麗琺瑯彩繪作品上簽名的大師。

652型號約於1936生產,至1995年停產,百達翡麗自60年代開始在該錶款上飾以雕刻及琺瑯圖案,令一枚枚懷錶成為舉世無雙的藝術珍品。

微型彩繪取材自Giovanni Segantini (1858年1月15日-1899年9月28日)於1894年的作品「生命天使」。畫作富含救贖及重生的思想,畫中的母親以聖母之態滿懷憐愛的抱著嬰兒,背景中的雪山開始融化,樺樹開始長出嫩綠的新芽。畫作中的樹木於宗教角度而言,可解讀為生命之樹,雖然此刻狀甚枯竭,在春天來臨之時仍會重新綻發生命力,暗示重生。此幅畫作被視為其代表作之一,充分體現十九世紀畫風從自然主義轉變至神秘象徵主義的過程。

「生命天使」曾在多個著名的歐洲藝術博覽會及博物館中展出,如1926年威尼斯國際天主教藝術展、1935年前巴黎當代外國藝術派博物館、1956年聖加倫博物館及1964年摩納哥ARCO藝術博覽會等。

此懷錶為原物主珍藏之物,題材精彩,品相超凡,首次亮相於拍賣市場,必定令藏家趨之若鶩。
