The white peacock is the counterpart to the blue, and it is the more difficult dial of the two. A blue peacock gives the enameller colour to work with; a white one takes it away and demands that the entire tail be modelled in tone alone, through translucent enamels layered over a gold ground until depth appears. Hand-engraving beneath the enamel does the rest of the work here, cutting the feather structure into the metal so it reads through the colour.

The rose gold case measures 34.5 mm in the Golden Ellipse profile, chosen for the width the tail requires. The dial is hand-engraved and finished in fired enamel, the engraving providing the feather detail that colour cannot. A self-winding movement drives hours and minutes only, so nothing crosses the bird. The watch is completed on an alligator strap. Patek Philippe treats the white and blue peacocks as distinct references rather than as one design in two colours, consistent with how the rest of the programme is catalogued.
