Hi Sara, Richard et al,
Sixteenth century wall dials of any sort are rare and have usually been
repainted many times so it is not always clear how original the design is.
There are a few 17th century dials with planetary hours around: you can see a
couple in the articleM. Lowne & J. Davis: ‘Planetary Hours’, BSS Bull.,
25(iii), 40–48 (Sept 2013).
which can be accessed here:

Sixteenth-century wall dials with planetary hours? Around 1550, Zacharias
Scultetus designed two wall dials for the facade of a handsome
Renaissance-style house in Görlitz, Germany
(see:https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vdvlsur0w626kfe/AACEf1HseuQZm2SYtesQYHmra?dl=0).
The Solarium on the left includes lines for civil hours, Italian hours,
Nuremberg hours. The Arachne on the right includes lines for the planetary
hours (showing the ruling planets for each hour) and the solar altitudes,
azimuths and astrological houses. Are other sixteenth-century wall dials
known that show planetary hours in this manner? Please direct your
correspondence [email protected]. Many thanks.
