Description
I am pleased to offer from my private collection this Antique Patek Philippe CHRONOMETRO GONDOLO Pocket Watch Converted to a luxury mens wristwatch.
The most precision antique Patek Philippe GONDOLO caliber movement was produced c1893 according to the serial number.
The original movement is set in a brand new stainless steel oversize case(48mm) and fitted with a brand new luxury genuine leather strap.
A new life for an old pocket watch!
Original enamel dial and original gold fancy hands.
The watch is in perfect working order. Recently serviced.
The highest class Patek Philippe movement has been Observatory approved and tested.
Few basic requirements were requested by to distinguish the Gondolo
watches from those made for Patek Philippe’s regular production. Firstly, the
watches were made with gilded brass plates and featured the elegant S-
shaped fourth wheel patented by Patek Philippe on 13 January 1893. The S-
shaped minute train bridge is now considered one of the company’s hallmark
designs. Secondly, a Swiss moustache lever escapement with bi-metallic
compensation balance featured on each watch to meet high precision
standards. Thirdly, the fourth, intermediate and minute wheels of each watch
were made in 9k rose gold. Forth, a square socket was necessary in each of
the mainspring barrels.Also the watches should have a maximum 21
rubis,Wolf teeth winding gear,special Patek Philippe patented snail precision
micrometric regulator ,big bycolor(bymetal) compensating balance wheel with
gold screws,and of course the watch should be observatory tested to position
and temperature.
PERFECT WORKING ORDER.
