Now for the gems…which have me gobsmacked. The octagonal bezel is adorned with two rows of baguette-cut stones. The inner row consists of 40 flawless rare white Top Wesselton diamonds (2.05 ct) while the outer row is set with 40 sapphires in the colors of
link the rainbow (2.31 ct). This is Patek Philippe, grand master of factory gem setting, so we can expect no less than individually hand-picked stones, a tough feat when the transition from color to color in the rainbow has to remain seamless.
