Patek Philippe presents the Calatrava skeleton watch in a new rose-gold version. The famous ultra-thin self-winding caliber 240 movement, which celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2017, is completely skeletonized, decorated and engraved by hand; the engraving alone accounts for about 130 hours of work. For the first time, the winding rotor is decorated with the engraved logo of the Patek Philippe Seal. It pays tribute to the rare handcrafts that are painstakingly upheld by the manufacture.

Rare Handcrafts
The engraver

The engraver’s first tool is...the pencil. Of course, we instinctively think of the burin (or graver as it’s also known), or one of the array of burins placed close at hand; any observer at the workbench is struck by their number and variety. The burin is an almost natural extension of this artist’s hand, as a fountain pen is for a writer. Pointed, squared, or rounded, but always sharpened, this tool penetrates the material to gouge out tiny quantities, tracing a line or curve with a furrow of varying depth.
