WATCHES

Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse ref 5738P-001 (2011) earns its name after the exquisite shape of the case which isn't quite round or rectangular.  Instead the Ellipse falls somewhere between with elegantly curved corners and long beautiful lines.  The result is an absolutely timeless luxury watch that exudes elegant simplicity.  Ref. 5738P is a current-production platinum model with a vibrant blue gold sunburst dial white gold hour markers and hands sapphire crystal and a shiny navy blue alligator leather strap.  The watch is quite sleek measuring  34.5 x 39.5 mm and just 5.9mm thick.  It sports the ultra-thin caliber 240 self-winding mechanical movement.  We envy anyone lucky enough to add this remarkable Patek to their collections.

The Patek Philippe Gondolo is distinguished by rectangular or square-shaped cases with a distinct art deco flair. The modern collection is reminiscent of a time long gone featuring elegant curved lines and exquisite attention to detail. The collection itself earns its name after Gondolo & Labouriau a retailer from Rio de Janeiro whom Patek Philippe had done business with between the 1870s and the 1930s. A strong relationship that is indeed worth celebrating today with the exceptional wristwatch you see here. Reference 5010 fully embraces the Art Deco aesthetic with long mesmerizing markers and hands a geometric case and a sophisticated leather bracelet.

Patek Philippe Complications ref  5110G-001 features one of the brand's most intriguing complications cased in lustrous white gold.  Powered by the caliber 240 HU the World Time features two centrally-mounted hands surrounded by a 24-scale to indicate each of the world's 24 time zones (at the time of its production in the early 2000s) conveniently printed around the dial's perimeter.  Sun and Moon indicators on either side of the 24-hour scale distinguish between AM and PM hours. Furthermore the wearer can adjust the 24-hour scale to set their reference time by pressing the sleek pusher at 10 o'clock.  In true Patek fashion the watch is a masterpiece through and through.  The dial features a radiant guilloche pattern and is decorated with elegant gold hands and delicate white gold applied indices.

Finding an unusual model like this one with the retailer signature in excellent condition is getting harder by the day and this is a good opportunity to pick one up.
