Marquetry produces a matte, warm surface that enamel cannot, and it depends entirely on the grain of the woods chosen, since each piece has to carry a different part of the picture without being coloured. Pairing that technique with a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wristaficionado.com\/collections\/patek-philippe-minute-repeater\"\u003eminute repeater\u003c\/a\u003e and an electric guitar is deliberately unserious for a house of this kind, and it is what makes the reference stick in the memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rose gold case measures 42 mm, its dimensions dictated by the gongs. The guitar is built in wood marquetry, the veneers cut and laid by hand. The minute repeater sounds hours, quarters and minutes on demand. The watch is completed on a calfskin strap. Marquetry also ages differently from enamel, taking on tone over time rather than staying fixed, which collectors either seek out or avoid.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis exceptional piece is not currently in stock due to its rarity on the market.
