A really fun collectable tray from Patek Philippe- this example depicting a world map similar to the Rare Handcrafts dials on Patek’s famous Enamel World Time models.
This one is specifically referencing a vintage Pocket Watch from 1949 with stunning Cloisonné Enamel work.

Something a little different from the Genevan watch manufacturer: porcelain trays! These trays are produced in France for Patek Philippe and are handy for holding all sorts of trinkets and things. Plus- with a new tray being produced every year (and sometimes seemingly at random other intervals) they are fun to collect as the theme never stays the same!

I have collected quite a few over the years, though there are many that I am still on the hunt for! A few are depicted here-

My family acquired some Chinese antiques about 30 years ago from a friend in Beijing whose uncle was an Imperial doctor. Anybody have any recommendations on reputable shops that do authentication and appraisals?
