HOW DIAMONDS ARE SET IN A WATCH CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY THE TIMEPIECE SPARKLES. HERE ARE THREE TYPES OF SETTINGS, EXPERTLY SHOWCASED IN THESE PATEK PHILIPPE DESIGNS.
SNOW SETTING
Very little gold is visible in a snow setting, as seen in the Gondolo Ref. 7099R-001 timepiece. A total of 850 diamonds in 26 sizes are snugly placed next to one another in a random pattern, resulting in a seamless sparkling effect reminiscent of snow.
GRAIN SETTING
The diamonds in the Twenty~4 Ref. 4910/49G are securely held by small grains of gold that are shaped by hand and barely visible to the naked eye. This setting uses the minimum amount of metal and requires precise spacing and alignment of diamonds for a smooth and harmonious look.
GRADUATED SETTING
The Diamond Ribbon Ref. 4968G-001 features 273 diamonds in graduated sizes, flowing seamlessly around the bezel and sides of the white gold case to give the effect of ribbons swirling in the air.
