Description

Patek Philippe Gondolo 5111 in white gold.

99% condition, all boxes and papers, completely pristine, running perfectly. Features the classic and reliable Patek 215PS manual-wind movement. On Patek dark blue croco strap with original brown strap included. I am the original owner. Purchased from an AD in 2006 and worn only a handful of times.

Now discontinued after a short run of less than 3 years, you may still find a new one at an AD or boutique if you ring around - but expect no discount off the list price of US$18,900. This watch is one of the most beautiful Gondolos ever released, and the white gold version is particularly gorgeous - especially on a dark blue strap.

The 5111 is a classic yet affordable Patek which will most certainly appreciate in value now that it is discontinued.

Mine is priced firmly at US$13,500 for an expeditious sale. I will have the watch with me in Australia for the next week or so - visiting Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne during that time. After that, the watch and I will be in Shanghai.

Potential CONUS-based purchasers - I will be passing through the USA in early November.

Many references as buyer and seller.

📖 About This Reference

The Patek Philippe reference 5111 is a distinctive rectangular wristwatch, notable for its strong design and unusual case and dial aesthetics. It stands apart from more traditional Patek Philippe designs, offering a unique profile that some collectors find reminiscent of certain Art Deco-inspired timepieces. This reference represents a less commonly encountered facet of Patek Philippe's catalog, appealing to those seeking a watch with a pronounced individual character rather than a conventional round form. Its design details, though subtle, contribute to its unique presence on the wrist. The reference 5111 features a substantial case, measuring 33 x 48 mm, which provides a significant wrist presence for a rectangular watch. It is powered by the manual-winding Patek Philippe caliber 215 PS, a movement known for its reliability and slim profile. The case was produced in white gold, as seen in the 5111G-001 variant. The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal, protecting the dial and offering clear legibility. This reference appeals to collectors who appreciate Patek Philippe's willingness to explore diverse design languages beyond its more celebrated round models. Its relatively uncommon status in the secondary market suggests it may be a niche interest, yet its unique design ensures it holds a specific appeal for those drawn to its particular aesthetic. The 5111 offers a different perspective on Patek Philippe's craftsmanship and design philosophy, making it a noteworthy piece for a comprehensive collection.
