Everyone knows that Patek Philippe is a brilliant watchmaker that produces superlative ultra-complications. But it's no shrinking violet in terms of designing and building artistic watches and table clocks. In fact, in its annual Baselworld releases, there are always several creations that involve metier d'Arts.

However, these creations usually come in very limited numbers, so the marque seldom raises awareness about them in the mass media. Hence, it's extremely rare for Patek Philippe to be able to amass 50 such rare pieces from this year's collection and showcase them as an exhibition as it has this year

Those who have the chance to swing by the exhibition in Geneva will have the chance to meet and interact with some of the artisans behind the beautiful horological creations. These masters specialise in rare artistic techniques that include the likes of enamelling, engraving, micro-painting and marquetry.
