Catalogue Essay
Tigers have played integral roles in ancient and modern folklore. For centuries, tigers have long retained a sense of intrigue and mysticism for their supremacy, solitary lives and audacity. They are also the national animals of Malaysia, South Korea, Bangladesh and India. Facing to the left, the tiger illustrated in the present watch is roaring, ready to make a rigorous strike against a hidden enemy. This lively illustration allows the beholders to experience vicariously the vigor and vivacity of the mystic creature.
This series of watches with tiger cloisonné enamel dials is likely to be a dedication to the year of the Tiger, which occupies the third position in the twelve-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac system. This is the first time that the décor 016 is offered in the auction market. The present watch is likely one of the last examples of this aesthetically pleasing model manufactured by Patek Philippe.
