Anita Porchet is not the watch brand: how to credit an enamel dial

Porchet described financial help from Philippe Stern while retaining freedom to accept commissions from other brands. Stern’s support is not evidence that Patek Philippe owned Porchet’s atelier.

The interview documents miniature enamel painting, cloisonné, champlevé and paillonné in Porchet’s work. Documented clients include Patek Philippe, Chanel, Hermès, Piaget, Chaumet and Vacheron Constantin.

Her documented contribution is enamel decoration; that credit is not manufacture of a client’s complete movement, case and watch. Europa Star identifies Porchet’s cloisonné dial on Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse White Egrets, ref. 5738/50G-026, in the 2023 Rare Handcrafts selection. 1
