Patek Philippe Gondolo 5124G-011 still in love!
After the summer holidays I can now re-descover some of the watches in my collection.
Six months after my initial review (http://www.watchprosite.com/patek-philippe/patek-philippe-gondolo-5124g-011-review/11.1044988.7495323/)
I am still in love with my Patek Philippe Gondolo 5124G-011!
The dial color is really special. Patek calls it "blue roi" in the official warranty and it is indeed a very royal blue 
The shape of the watch is pretty unique. A very original case and a square movement for a perfect fit.
Really happy with this watch. Obviously it is considered a more "entry level" patek but to me is really special and understated.
Blue dials might be part of the fashion now but in this case I think that Patek created something eternal. I should certainly give to this beauty more wrist time ... pure perfection to me.

Yes! And me today!
Late comment...fast forward almost 6 years! I mine on yesterday and I love the simplicity of it. Very comfy on the wrist too compared to my Rolex Hulk. Love the contrast to sports watches.
Elegant
One of my favorites, too, and a constant temptation. If only I had more occasions to wear a time-only watch, this would be my next choice. Park
Chronograph
Sadly, I have chronic chronograph dependency, but that subject belongs in a different thread. Park
Still in love...?
I can't imagine what could make one fall out of love of this beauty! Best Blomman
well you know the issue Blomman with too many watches...
one doesn't fall out of love but doesn't get a lot of wrist time so perhaps this is why the watch might feel not so loved if not worn regularly
Nothing "entry level" about it...
It's a beautiful watch, and the rectangular movement shaped and sized to the case is far from entry level IMO. Unlike some of their other offerings, with recycled smaller movements in larger cases, this one's a Patek done right! Congratulations and many m...
thank you Sam yes..
to me is really nice..the 8 days version has a different case. Very nice too but just different..very happy with this one thanks again for your comments
Hi Christianch, this shape is unique and the blue dial is ...
superior ! This "simple" dial is classy and uninterrupted ! Cheers, Gordon
Case proportion is unique too
This rectangular piece is also different from the Tanks and Reversos, being meatier and looking a little more 'squarish' than traditional Cintree-like dimensions.
