Reasons to Bid
The reference pays tribute to Patek Philippe’s historic Gondolo & Labouriau era, an important period in which the brand dared to design more avantgarde-shaped watches with strong architectural lines and styling. Cased in 18k yellow gold, the 5024J possesses a balance of proportion and elegance. Its gently curved rectangular case, complemented by sleek stepped sides, wears comfortably on the wrist while making a subtle yet distinctive statement. The dial is executed in a clean white with printed black Breguet numerals, a railway-track minute scale, and leaf-style hands that lend an unmistakable nod to early 20th-century dress watch aesthetics. A discreet subsidiary seconds dial at 6 o’clock enhances visual symmetry and reinforces its classical demeanor. Powered by the hand-wound Caliber 215, slim in profile and meticulously finished, it offers traditional watchmaking class: Geneva-striped bridges, anglage and a smooth manual-winding tactility.
