In-Depth: The Distinctive Timepieces Made By Patek Philippe For Charity
Apparently, the primary Solely Watch made by Patek Philippe was a Ref. 5099/101RG, a singular gem-set Cabriolet. The hinged cowl was “engraved and set with valuable stones to replicate the theme Restoration and Hope [see above]. Its symbolic components are as follows: 1) the solar is represented by seven yellow sapphire stones that stand for hope, power, and shining power 2) the moon, intrinsically linked with the solar, is symbolized by 5 diamonds. It expresses sensitivity, safety, and love three) the big diamond-paved coronary heart denotes charity, openness, and generosity four) the small coronary heart, paved with six yellow sapphire stones, represents the kid’s coronary heart from which a ray factors to the long run, towards evolution and compassion 5) the horizon, represented by seven widening horizontal bands, is a logo of hope and the trail to restoration.” Notably, this lovely and distinctive watch was the one Patek Philippe that didn’t convey the highest worth throughout the Solely Watch sale.
