Patek Philippe Gondolo 18k Yellow Gold

Patek Philippe describes the Calatrava as the "very essence of the round wristwatch " and we couldn't agree more. The collection came to market in the 1930s and has been a pillar of the Patek catalog ever since. Nearly a century after it was born the Calatrava proves just how enduring it is by following the same design ethos as the inaugural model of elegant simplicity. The example you see here is a remarkable gold and diamond example from the 1980s. If you've always wanted to add a Patek watch to your collection ref. 4522/001 is an affordable option to consider. Features include 18k yellow gold a diamond-encrusted bezel and a silver dial decorated with dainty diamond hour markers and gold hands that match the texture of the bracelet. An absolutely stunning statement piece.

The Patek Philippe Aquanaut took the market by storm in 1997 featuring a design inspired by the Gerald Genta masterpiece the Nautilus.

The example you see here was produced sometime in the mid-2000s. It also features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal a date mechanism at 3 o'clock automatic winding and some typical signs of wear as described in the condition examination listed above.

The ref. 5035R is the white dial and 18 karat rose gold variation displaying the time on an ivory dial via rose gold Roman hour markers and hands filled with lume plots. The case measures a modest 37mm in diameter and wears on a genuine Patek Philippe leather strap secured by a matching rose gold tang clasp.
