In late 1999, a lavish party organized by Patek Philippe and the Russian distributor was held at the State Historical Museum in Red Square. It was the first time in history that Red Square was closed for a commercial event. More than 600 guests arrived in limousines and traveled to the museum for a true red carpet event and were delighted by a lavish evening of extravagance and the introduction of a limited edition Patek Philippe made especially for the Russian market: The SculptureThe Patek Philippe Sculpture collection was made especially for the Russian market to celebrate five years of business with Russian distributor Mercury Group. Today it seems unbelievable that Patek Philippe would celebrate such a short anniversary with a limited edition, but the deep roots of Patek Philippe's sale to the Russian market are woven into the early years of the company's history. Specifically, the Mercury Group is named after the Roman god of commerce, but also the god of communication, travel, and financial gain. The Mercury Group has spearheaded the distribution of countless luxury brands in Russia, including Gucci, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, as well as almost all the major Swiss watchmakers, including Patek Philippe.The Sculpture was presented with a total of 2,700 pieces in about a dozen different executions with the promise that no more than 300 pieces would be made of each model. The basic design was inspired by the Nautilus and was an attempt to modernize the aesthetic with a look that paid homage to all that is Patek Philippe with a Russian twist. Initially, the collection was available only to the Russian market and later distributed worldwide.The strategic intention was to offer a six-month exclusive to the Russian market and then release the collection to the world through authorized retailers.The Sculpture collection of sports watches evokes a very contemporary blend of strength and sensuality, evident in the soft, sculpted lines of the case and the softness of the polished metal."The basic design of the Sculpture collection has a smooth, rounded bezel that is fully integrated into the bracelet models.The bracelet models feature a look never before seen in the watch world, a surprising departure for a brand often considered traditional and conservative. The bracelet features beveled, rounded rectangular center links, while the respective side links are squared off with a ridge dividing each link in two. It is a tribute to geometry that looks simple but is actually quite complex upon closer inspection. Look at the design of Russia's imperial crown, and the influence of Russian design on this bracelet is clearly no coincidence.The strap models feature thick, stylized lugs that were distinctly different from the classic Calatrava lugs.The most striking design element that distinguishes the Sculpture collection is the blue enameled Imperial crown that is protected and "perfectly integrated with the delicately sculpted lines of the case." A close inspection of the blue enameled crown is reminiscent of a Fabergé egg or perhaps even a nod to the classical architecture of Russia. It's a design element we've never seen before from Patek Philippe and probably never will again.The attention given to the design of the dials in the Sculpture collection is quite impressive. Beginning with the women's models, we see exquisite mother-of-pearl examples, some with applied Roman numerals and others with applied diamond hour markersNote the tritium hands (almost identical to the Nautilus hands) and tritium Arabic hour markers.Interestingly, the case backs were all solid within the Sculpture line, with no sapphire case backs.For the women, the Caliber E19, an in-house quartz caliber of the highest caliber, was used.
