About the Item
A magnificent ring designed by Gilbert Albert (1930-2019) for Patek Philippe.
This extremely rare piece was created in Switzerland back in the 1960 by the talented jeweler-artist Gilbert Albert for the Patek Philippe Company. A one-of a-kind piece, called in that time, "Pepites avec Perle" (nugget with pearl) crafted in solid 18 karats of yellow, rose and white gold, with heavily textured surfaces.
The technique used to realize this piece is extremely difficult, because each gold elements need to be placed together, piece by piece forming the organized geometric effect of the final composition.
Is embellished at top, with a natural large white pearl of 13.5 mm by 18.2 mm.
Has a total weight of 40.7 grams and the actual ring size is 7, sizeable. The top view measures are 30 mm by 28 mm (1.18 x 1.10 Inches).
Stamped, with the maker's mark PP for Patek Philippe, the swiss gold assay hallmarks and signed, "PP CO. .750", all inside a cartouche.

Princess Windisch-Graetz, was a lady with exceptional taste and very "avant-garde" before her time. She used to buy most of her clothes in Paris and was one of Hungary's most fashionable women. The Princess and her husband, Vinzenz Windisch-Graetz, lived in several metropoles such as Amsterdam, Singapore, New Delhi, Cairo, Rome and Vienna. A multi-lingual globetrotter, she visited over 30 countries and started to paint at the age of 50.
It is in perfect condition, with great eye appeal and should be a great addition to any important jewelry collection.
