Description

Patek Philippe Gondolo Ref 5109R. A large 30mm wide by 43mm long 18K rose gold rectangular wristwatch with raised black Breguet numerals and the sub-second at 6:00. This watch was worn very little if at all as evidenced by the original strap and the condition of the case which are in mint condition. Watch is accompanied by the PP wallet with the original certificate and manuals along with the PP box. It’s worth noting that the 5109 was first introduced at the Basel fair in 2003 and was no longer on PP price sheet in 2008. This is a very short manufacturing life and with the large over sized case makes this a very desireable watch. Case is rose gold in absolutely mint condition with a solid back secured by four screws. Its case design was inspired by the elegant Art Deco wristwatches. Dial is rose with black applied Breguet numerals blackened gold spade hands with the sub-seconds located at 6:00. Reference 5109, the large Gondolo model, was introduced at the Basel Fair in 2003. Its case design was inspired by the elegant Art Deco wristwatches.

📖 About This Reference

The Patek Philippe Gondolo reference 5109 represents a distinct rectangular case offering within the Gondolo collection, which is known for its non-round case shapes inspired by Art Deco aesthetics. This reference, along with others like the 5489 and 5124, showcases Patek Philippe's commitment to traditional watchmaking with a focus on form watches that deviate from the more common circular designs. It is a notable example of the brand's diverse catalog, appealing to collectors who appreciate classic proportions and a refined, understated presence on the wrist. This reference is powered by the manual-winding Caliber 215, a movement known for its reliability and slender profile, which is well-suited for the rectangular case architecture. The 5109 was produced in various precious metals, including yellow gold (5109J-001), rose gold (5109R-001), white gold (5109G-001), and platinum (5109P-001). The crystal is typically sapphire, providing durability and clarity for viewing the dial. The 5109 holds relevance for collectors interested in Patek Philippe's historical and contemporary interpretations of rectangular watches. Its availability in multiple metal variants allows for different aesthetic preferences, from the warmth of rose gold to the subtle elegance of platinum. The shared Caliber 215 across several Gondolo references, such as the 5489, highlights a consistent approach to movement selection for this family of watches, reinforcing its position as a considered choice for enthusiasts of shaped cases.
