PATEK PHILIPPE ZODIAC PENDANT “LEO”

Patek Philippe embraced the bold spirit of the 1970s with unconventional shapes, vibrant colors, and a flair for the era’s exuberance. Reflecting the brand’s long-standing commitment to creating aesthetically striking and beautiful timepieces, Patek ventured beyond traditional watchmaking, expanding its offerings to include a range of accessories. These included classic items like cufflinks, pendants, rings, and even keychains. Among the most eye-catching pieces were the Zodiac pendants. Crafted from 18k yellow gold, each pendant featured a white gold Zodiac symbol encircled by an Ellipse design. These oversized pieces were designed to complement the contemporary fashion of the time.

Upon closer inspection of the pendant and its chain, the hallmark of the renowned jeweler George L’Enfant is revealed. George L’Enfant, recognized for his exceptional skill, had worked with prestigious houses such as Boucheron and Cartier, where, at just 18 years old, he was appointed Chainmaster Goldsmith. In 1915, his young son Jacques joined the family business, and after World War II, the company flourished under his leadership. L’Enfant’s designs were sought after by major brands like Cartier, Hermes, Tiffany, and of course Patek Philippe. Known for brilliance in weaving gold, George L’Enfant’s craftsmanship made the company the natural choice for Patek Philippe’s exclusive Zodiac accessories. This example with box and papers from the original retail (Gobbi) features the Zodiac sign for Leo, the perfect Patek Philippe gift for anyone born July 23 – August 22.
