Catalogue Essay
Exquisitely painted is how one expects to see Suzanne Rohr's work. Without a doubt, her creations are the most sought after in the world of enamels for watches manufactured by Patek Philippe. The painting, here accompanying this hunting case watch, is an exceptional work of art, and is beautifully painted. The scene is based on a panting by Jean-Baptiste Arnout (1788-1865), which is entitled "Vue de Genève et du Mont Blanc" (A View of Geneva and the Mont Blanc).
The case is finely engraved with scroll work, adding a further level of sophistication to this hunting case masterpiece. Fresh to the market, and accompanied by its original certificate, portfolio photographs and box, the watch is as good as it gets with looking to acquire a Suzanne Rohr and is in a pristine condition.
