ITEM DESCRIPTION: Normal 0 false false false EN-US ZH-CN X-NONE In this listing we are presenting a scarce and wonderful Patek Philippe Relojoaria Gondolo 18K Yellow Gold Pocket Watch made for the Brazilian market circa 1890-1900s. Usually Patek Philippe ‘Chronometro Gondolo’ pocket watches are the models to represent the Brazilian antique watch scene. This particular specimen was ordered and retailed by the famous Gondolo & Labouriau watchmakers/jewelers in Rio de Janeiro as ‘Relojoaria Gondolo’ models. If ‘Chronometro Gondolo’ was considered the top grade then ‘Relojoaria Gondolo’ was the general grade series for Patek Philippe watches. This by no means says these ‘Relojoaria Gondolo’ watches are average or common, they were still only affordable to the wealthy and elites of society and it carries much of the same quality as the ‘Chronometro Gondolo’ watches with such high grade features as: wolf teeth winding wheels, mustache lever fork, large red ruby jewels, Geneva seals and more. Certainly today we see much less ‘Relojoario Gondolo’ signed pocket watches which make them an interesting part of the Patek Philippe’s history. Condition-wise the watch winds and runs well but we have not timed or had it serviced so we don't offer any guarantee on timekeeping. Most likely it will require full service if the owner wants to use it frequently. Cosmetically the original dial has a faint hairline right above of the 7 o’clock marker. This hairlines is not easily seen since it is quite tiny. The golden hands have a bit of tarnish and oxidation. The 18K solid gold case has some dings and dents to the case, caseback and dustcover. For its age these are quite normal and generally the case is still in good shape with caseback guilloche engine turning still visible. The gilt-finished movement has a bit of discoloration and certain scratches. Glass crystal has a chip at the 9 o’clock position. Overall it is in good condition for its age and it’s still a great watch that can be treasured as a piece of antique heirloom. No box or paper, guaranteed 100% original. Diameter is 51mm, total weight 80 grams. PURCHASE TERMS: PAYMENT We only accept payment made by eBay managed payment.
