The Patek Philippe Gondolo (ref. 4962/200R-001) stands apart within the maison’s catalogue as a sculptural jewel-watch, pairing Art Deco forms with vibrant gemstone artistry. Released in 2023, this Serata edition is distinguished by 94 brilliant-cut spessartites set along the graceful contours of its rose-gold case – each stone carefully selected for hue, ranging from deep cognac to fiery mandarine.

Measuring 28.6 x 40.85mm, the curved rectangular case flows seamlessly into its integrated bracelet lines, framing a brown lacquered dial adorned with a floral motif that evokes Patek Philippe’s design language of romantic restraint. Inside, the ultra-slim quartz calibre E15 ensures long-term accuracy while maintaining the case’s delicate profile. This is elegant watchmaking in its most ornamental guise – refined in scale, quiet in function, and lavish in material.

The Gondolo Serata’s fusion of fine gem-setting and heritage architecture makes it one of the maison’s more distinctive expressions of feminine design, equally suited to evening occasions or connoisseurs of decorative watchmaking.
