SUMMARY

This Patek Philippe Gondolo has an impressively thin profile and is very much the definitive Art Deco-inspired dress watch. Finished in polished white gold, this fine timepiece’s rectangular-shaped case measures 43 x 30 mm. Bringing together the traditional styling of this dressy Patek is a white dial with applied Breguet numerals. A small sub-dial at 6 o'clock denotes the running seconds. The watch is paired with a factory black leather strap and a white gold pin buckle. Housed inside the case is the calibre 215 PS. This manually wound calibre beats at 28,800 vph and is equipped with a 44-hour power reserve

The Gondolo line is named for the ‘Chronometro Gondolo’ watches created by Patek for the Brazilian jewellers Gondolo & Labouriau in Rio de Janeiro in 1902. Since then, Patek Philippe has adopted this name to define a range of watches with unusual (non-round) shapes and designs.
