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 ref. 4972G for example. It features a gorgeous, diamond encrusted 18K white gold curved case with 'tear-drop' profiles. Its 40mm x 27mm case houses a lovely white guilloche dial with a 'feuille' handset, and a reliable quartz movement within. To top it all off, this Gondolo is fitted to a factory satin blue strap with a signed 18K white gold pin buckle.
Exquisite.
This stunning Patek is the perfect gift to celebrate a graduation, anniversary or career milestone for that special someone in your life!
