It is in gorgeous all-original condition down to its original PP band and 18K gold PP buckle.
Possessing a high level of refinement and class, this ref. 4824 ladies Gondolo wears fabulously and is very comfortable. Drawing from the Art Deco spirit for its inspiration, its sleek case and stylized Breguet numerals presents beautifully.
As Patek aptly states, "With its rectangular, tonneau- or cushion-shaped cases, the Gondolo collection brings together most of Patek Philippe’s “form” watches, the term for all those that are not round. Their strong lines, timeless style and geometric simplicity are a contemporary interpretation of the art deco style, which coincided with one of Patek Philippe’s own golden ages. In introducing the Gondolo, Patek Philippe has reinterpreted – with a subtle infusion of modernity – some of the historical pieces that are part of its heritage and may be admired in the Patek Philippe Museum."
It is powered by Patek's E15 quartz movement that never needs to be wound. As you would expect from Patek, the quartz movement is very high grade for quartz.
It comes as a wonderful complete set with all of its original booklets, certifcate, envelope, and both inner and outer boxes. As is customary with these the lining of the inner box has become to peel over time.
The watch itself presents as mint - a 9.7 out of 10 and appears to only have been worn carefully and seldomly with an appreciation for its value. Its case presents as just short of perfect mint with the finest of hairlines to the back and light wear to the screw heads from previous battery changes. It still retains all of its Patek factory applied satin finish.
Its original Patek band has been previously worn but remains in very good condition, and its original 18K gold Patek buckle presents as just short of mint.
Its dial and sapphire crystal are both like new.
Any needed servicing has been performed, and it functioning perfectly. For the finishing touch, we have meticulously detailed it making it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with the purchase is a one-year C.O.T. warranty on the movement and its function.
A nearly new 18K gold Patek Gondolo with complete set for a fraction of the price of a new Patek.
