"Boats in the Port" Rare Handcrafts Golden Ellipse Grey Yellow Gold Alligator Leather 34.5 x 39.5mm

This limited edition of three watches in yellow gold reproduces a section of “Qingming Festival on the Banks of the River”, a Chinese painting on a scroll 11.5 meters long, here in a version dating from 1736. This monumental work by the artist Zhang Zeduan produced in the 12th century has been copied countless times over the years. The dial was first hand-engraved with a pattern of wavelets, before being coated with translucent blue enamel, creating the illusion of a river in motion.
