## Caption

Created by Marthe Bischoff, one of the greatest miniature enamellers of the last century, the present hunter case watch is exceptional in many ways and is one of only three known double-sided miniature enamels made by PatekPhilippe (⬅️Swipe to see the exquisite paintings on both sides!)

Bischoff was inspired by the paintings of Antoine Charles Horace Vernet, the youngest child of the celebrated Old Master painter, Claude Joseph Vernet. After 5 years of work, Bischoff completed both covers in 1975 by the age of 75. The watch was then retailed by the famous Swiss retailer Gubelin for 36,000 Sfr in 1976. Further elevating the craftsmanship of this watch is the presence of the original certificate, box and original sales invoice.
