The engraver begins by drawing the outline of the doves on a yellow gold dial base, before proceeding to "champlever" them, meaning engraving the motif before the enameler fills the cavities thus formed.

The enameller then creates perfect harmony between the various shades of color which, once bonded by firing at a high temperature, create this radiant violet hue. He applies a translucent enamel or an opalescent white enamel coating to the doves, therefore endowing the engraved motifs with a striking depth effect

The gemsetter in turn highlights one of the doves with diamonds chosen for their luster and their clarity.

Finally, the guillocheur begins his task of accentuating the depth effect of the dial. Due to the extreme difficulty of this process, it is extremely rare for an enamelled piece to be guilloché-worked as a final phase
