Patek Philippe Rare Handcrafts 995

This Patek Philippe Rare Handcrafts 995/150G-001 is a unique-piece pocket watch in white gold measuring 45 mm across with a case 9.72 mm thick. A wood marquetry depiction of a puma, built from hundreds of tiny veneer parts in a range of wood species, decorates the case, with hand-engraving around the border and bow based on the animal's face. A sapphire crystal covers the willow burl dial, set with applied Breguet numerals and white gold leaf hands. The manual-winding calibre 17''' LEP PS drives the watch, offering small seconds and a power reserve of 50 hours. A spessartite cabochon sits on the crown, and the accompanying stand is set with diamonds. Given the wood marquetry and engraving, the case is protected against humidity and dust only, not water resistant.
