Bearing the 015 décor, the dial of the present watch illustrates the life-like tiger in a dynamic attack position. The penultimate example of the 4-piece series, this is the first time that the décor 015 is offered in the auction market. The 013 and 014 pieces were sold at Phillips’ Hong Kong Watch Auction: Three in November 2016. While the 5076 series discontinued in 2007, the present watch is likely one of the last examples of this beautiful model manufactured by Patek Philippe. Complimented with a Certificate of Origin, this watch is a definite grail for avid watch collectors.
It would not be an overstatement to call these two lots works of art for the wrist. Consigned by an important collector, these two wristwatches each contain a cloisonné enamel illustration of a life-like tiger in different postures, vividly depicted against a backdrop of tropical wilderness. The present watch, together with the subsequent lot, is part of a set of four wristwatches, each bearing a dial enameled by France Tille.
