SUMMARY

Long disappeared from the Patek Philippe catalogue these stepped-case Gondolo wristwatches evoke the elegance of the 1930s. The case forms a gentle curve against the wrist, making it more comfortable to wear while the bracelet adds to the watch’s presence, giving it a more contemporary feel. The case styling also allows for a smaller dial which compensates for the fact that the calibre 215 is itself relatively small, allowing the position of the sub-seconds dial to appear more natural.

The movement benefits from a Gyromax balance and Spiromax spring allowing this small, slim movement to generate 44 hours of power reserve.
