Reasons to bid
Patek Philippe watches with ‘salmon-colored’ dials, such as this Gondolo Ref. 5124G-001, are sure to arouse great interest among collectors. The ‘salmon’ dial is a very rare feature for Patek Philippe, especially for the Gondolo collection. In this watch, it is exquisite and seductively subtle, with a smooth, matte textured background and a slightly recessed small seconds sub-dial with a subtle grooved texture that is barely perceptible to the naked eye. The blackened applied Breguet Arabic numerals, blackened leaf hands and black scales are stunningly chosen design details that complement the ‘salmon’ dial and make the watch irresistibly beautiful. The caliber 25-21 REC PS, which is located under the sapphire caseback, is stamped by Patek Philippe hallmark. This rare caliber is a real treasure, especially thanks to the S-shaped center wheel bridge, which is derived from the historic Patek Philippe pocket watch calibers.
