the rare handcrafts …. catalog

The 'rare handcrafts' like enamel, marquetry, engraving …. the ned plus ultra among Patek watches.

We know them for their complications and their superb finishing

But not often seen are the 'art' pieces aka 'rare handcrafts'

Anyway, this is a book Patek made and afaik they are and were not for sale.

 I've seen all kinds of catalogs, big and small, boxes with leaflets, small books  for the Nautilus ( 30th anniversary) , little books with 20 or so pages about their in-house chrono movements  ….. but this rare handcrafts boos is new to me

A pretty big (155 pages) book about  enamel, marquetry, engraving …. 
clocks, watches, pocket watches  …

To give you an impression , here are some pictures
Bad pictures I know smile  but at least you can see a few pages LOL


blue hard cover , and inside the 'Rare Handcrafts book'

I have seen this book online a while ago. Very interesting pieces. Do you know whether the piece called " Peacock 982/141 J" was a unique piece or a limited edition.
