Patek Philippe 5160
This large-scale drawing of the Patek Philippe 5160 explores how scale changes both the process and the final presence of the work. The size allows each element to breathe, from the sculptural case to the layered dial and finely engraved surfaces. Details that might feel subtle at a smaller scale become central here, demanding precision and patience at every stage.
Rather than simply reproducing the watch, the focus was on honouring the craftsmanship behind it. The engraving, in particular, required a slow and deliberate approach, reflecting the discipline and attention to detail that define the original piece. The result is a drawing that emphasizes not just appearance, but the quiet complexity and care embedded in the watch itself.
