Depicting the phoenix in flight, miniaturist painters use the thinnest possible brushes - some consisting of a single hair - to achieve the incredible detail of this work, which is painted on a natural white mother-of-pearl dial. Some of the details are so delicate that you will want to examine the craftsmanship with a loupe (a small magnifying glass), so you can admire the rich layers of color and intricate brushwork that bring the mythical creature to life. The finely finished movement is visible through a sapphire caseback.
