If one examines the painting very closely, it can be seen how the artist uses a single hair brush to stroke in very fine whites. The amount of attention to detail and masterful craftsmanship used to create a lively Gouldian Finch is truly incredible. A dozen enamel colours are mixed to mimic the multiple colours the plumage and background. To create such a long-lasting vivid painting requires a total of fifteen firings. This showcases the highest level of skills and craftsmanship, typified by Patek Philippe.Cloisonné enamelling is an ancient decorative technique that involves the laying of gold wires in intricate designs with the negative spaces filled with enamel. Enamel is a vitreous substance based on silica sand, coloured by adding metal oxides. The enamel is crushed to a fine powder and mixed with water to make a paste. According to Patek Philippe, after application and once dry, this paste is fired in a kiln at temperatures exceeding 800°C, fusing to the metal base of the dial and becoming extremely hard and stable. Depending on the intricacy of the design, a model can return to the kiln up to 12 times.Due to the complexity of the process and the skills required to craft such a dial, this timepiece is very limited and unique. The timepiece in single factory seal is highly sought-after by discerning connoisseurs with an appreciation for this artistry.
