Patek PhilippeGondolo

KEY FACTS

• The Gondolo is the luxury Swiss brand’s line of more unconventionally shaped watches, and it can trace its roots back to Patek Philippe’s foundation in 1872
• The ‘Gondolo’ moniker comes from the famous Gondolo & Labouriau retailer in Rio de Janeiro with whom Patek Philippe enjoyed a successful business relationship until 1927
• Originally a pocket watch, the wristwatch version of the Gondolo debuted during the Art Deco era of the 1920s
• At just 6mm thick, this Gondolo ref. 5109R is true ultra-thin offering and delivers superior ergonomics 
• The rectangular case is crafted in 18K rose gold and is complemented by a champagne dial 
• Black oxidised numerals and spade hands offer plenty of contrast, as does the sunken small-seconds register at 6 o’clock 
• A factory brown alligator strap keeps this classically-styled Patek secured to the wrist 
• Housed beneath the caseback is Patek Philippe’s calibre 215, a manual-winding movement with a 44 hour power reserve
• Presented with its Patek-branded slim display box, outer box, booklets, leather folder and certificate of origin
• Graded ‘A’ for condition by the vendor who reports the watch to be in good working order
