Mostra Patek Philippe in Palazzo Vecchio – 21 e 22 giugno

14 Jun 2013

Per Firenze un’altra occasione di mondanità e unicità. Il Museo di Palazzo Vecchio aprirà le sue porte il 21 e 22 giugno per ospitare la collezione 2013 di Patek Philippe, il marchio ginevrino che esiste dal 1850, da sempre sinonimo di eleganza e raffinatezza.
Quasi fosse una mostra d’arte contemporanea, ottanta segnatempo scandiranno secondi, minuti ed ore sotto lo sguardo incuriosito del seicentesco orologio costruito dal tedesco Giorgio Lederle per la Torre d’Arnolfo, la torre di Palazzo Vecchio. Sarà possibile incontrare i Calatrava, gli Ellisse e i Nautilus, orologi esposti per due giorni nella bella Sala dei Gigli, affrescata da Domenico del Ghirlandaio. Un tecnico orologiaio di Patek Philippe sarà presente durante i due giorni di esposizione per svelare i segreti dei preziosi movimenti di manifattura e siamo certi che non mancheranno gli appassionati ad accorrere per non perdere l’occasione.
L’evento è stato possibile grazie all’interessamento della nota gioielleria Fratelli Piccini che da 110 anni ha le sue vetrine sul Ponte Vecchio e alla disponibilità dell’amministrazione comunale e in primis del Sindaco Matteo Renzi.
Appendice della mostra un cocktail dinner che si terrà sulla terrazza di Saturno di Palazzo Vecchio che come sanno i ben informati è luogo unico ed inimitabile, un gioiello nascosto della nostra città. Sarà un caso, ma tra i pannelli dipinti che ornano il sala giglisoffitto le “Allegorie delle ore del giorno”.
