Hi All,
Check out this unique version of the Patrimony Traditionnelle Calibre 2253 I had the opportunity to photograph - a superbly complicated masterpiece originally released in 2010. This piece, in 18 karat rose gold, was made for the New York Boutique. The dial is a beautiful shade of gray, with white sub-dials and minutes and seconds chapters.
It combines a tourbillon, perpetual calendar, 14 days of power reserve, equation of time, and the indication of daily sunrise and sunset times calibrated to the owner's city.
The top half of the case center is hand-engraved with the frieze motif found on the exterior of the NY Boutique's building...
An arc above the power reserve indicator on the movement is also hand-engraved with the motif...
Sunrise time is indicated via an arc between the 6 o'clock and 8 o'clock markers...
Sunset time is indicated between 3 o'clock and 5 o'clock...
The Geneva-sealed movement is immaculately finished, as one would expect...
