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. 3430 was initially introduced to the market in 1958, lasting until the mid 1970s. The ref. 3430 is noted by its distinct square case shape, which calls to mind Patek’s interpretation of the mid-century aesthetic. The ref. 5109G is a later neo-vintage modern iteration of this unique design and at 30mm X 42.5mm it is well suited for larger sized wrists.

This particular example housed in white gold features a stunning textured metallic dial with applied Breguet numerals. We believe any Patek with these desirable numerals is special given where older references can trade. Offered in fantastic condition, this piece boasts a mint dial and well-preserved case with deep, crisp hallmarks and no distracting wear. The set includes its original warranty papers dating to 2004, two booklets, folder, service box, as well as its original strap with gold spring bars and 18k Patek signed pin buckle. For anyone hunting for this reference this is a fantastic set and ready to enjoy for decades to come.
