A magnificent Retro brooch in the form of a galleon or caravel by famed Swiss watchmaker Patek Philippe & Co. The pin is extraordinarily heavy and is set with the finest quality gemstones. The masts are topped with flags set with brilliant round-cut diamonds and square-cut rubies. The portholes along the side of the ship are studded with channel-set rectangular cut blue sapphires, and the ship cuts through platinum waves set with additional round diamonds. The gemstones are separated by the wide expanses of gold sails that give the brooch the chunky quality typical of fine Retro jewels. The quality of workmanship is everything that would be expected from the world’s finest watchmaker. The back of the brooch has the double-prong “coat clip” or “fur clip” pinstems that ensure that the piece is affixed securely. The back is marked “Patek Philippe & Co. Genève”. Tested and guaranteed platinum and 18K gold. Origin: Switzerland, ca. 1948. Condition: mint. Size: 2-1/16” x 2-1/8”. Weight: 31.0 grams. Approximate Total Gemstone Weight: diamond, .82 carat; ruby, .53 carat; sapphire, 1.04 carat. |
