We are proud to offer the timelessly classic Patek Philippe wristwatch showcased with rare fancy dial in today's offering. It likely is an extremely high quality conversion from a pendant design.

Patek collectors will recognize the name Chronometro Gondolo from the famous lottery associated with Gondolo & Labouriau, a Rio-de-Janeiro jeweler.

Sold exclusively by Gondolo & Labouriau using an ingenious marketing concept, these watches feature enhanced technical elements designed to showcase Patek Philippe's unrivaled watchmaking prowess.

To read more about Gondolo & Labouriau unique marketing strategy, please view this excellent article posted on the Purist's website here.

Here are just a few of the movement's exceptional attributes:

* A unique, caliber created specially for Gondolo and found in no other Patek Philippe timepiece

* 9K rose gold wheel trains for enhanced function and beauty

* Straight line lever escapement "à moustaches" ("with mustaches")

* Enhanced micrometric regulator for precision regulating of the timing fast or slow

It showcases an extremely pleasing design with quite rare and stunning fancy dial with gold accenting. The case is timelessly elegant. Our photos couldn't begin to capture the beauty of the watch.

The style of the bracelet lends itself to being worn by a woman, but the watch's 32mm size, similar to smaller vintage men's Pateks, mean the watch is large enough to be worn by a man.

Its 18K gold case, lightly tinted rose in color, presents in excellent condition with light wear. It has one pin prick indention on the edge and slight lightening of the guilloche detail on the back. On the wrist, it presents beautifully.

Its dial presents as mint to the naked eye.

One of our Master Watchmakers has fully serviced the watch which consists of fully disassembling the movement, carefully inspecting each part, reassembling and lubricating the movement, and extensive timing testing and regulation (a $695 value). Photos of its beautiful movement inside available upon request.

Amazingly after well-over a century, it is still running strong and true, keeping time essentially on par with a new Patek Philippe in our testing position.

For the finishing touch, we have carefully detailed making it ready for immediate enjoyment.

Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function and a new timing certificate.
