Patek Philippe Gondolo Ladies

Not every timepiece from the world’s greatest watchmaker fits neatly into the mold of an overarching theme or collection.  While we love a simple Calatrava, a sporty Aquanaut, or a complicated perpetual calendar as much as the next guy, the oddball, more overlooked and usually limited-production, shaped watches made by the maison in second half of the 20th century are often some of the most innovative and charming in the brand’s oeuvre. Take this ladies’ Gondolo for example. It features a gorgeous, diamond encrusted 18k white gold curved case with 'tear-drop' profiles and a stunning white gold 'tear-drop' bracelet with linear grooved finishing and a signed deployant clasp. Its 22mm case houses a lovely white guilloche dial with a 'feuille' handset, and a reliable quartz movement within. While any precious metal dress watch is sure to earn a nod of respect from watch lovers, this unique Gondolo is guaranteed to earn one from anyone!
