The Gondolo stands as a unique story in Patek Philippe’s history. The collection is named after the famed retailer ‘Gondolo & Labouriau’ from Rio de Janeiro, as a testament to their relationship with Patek from the early 1900s. The ref. 5010J (produced from '93 - '05) was long overlooked and is finally getting the attention it deserves. The curved 25 X 32mm case is highly elegant and ergonomic and this ref. featured some interesting and collectible dial variations.

The example on offer here is cased in yellow gold and houses a stunning sector dial. Considering where vintage sector dials can trade we believe this neo-vintage piece is an interesting value proposition. This piece has remained in excellent pre-owned condition with a mint dial and strong looking case with hallmarks still present. It includes its correct 18k PP pin buckle. This piece has just come back from a complete service so its ready to enjoy for years to come.
