I flew up to Boston this morning; going home with this….
It is the PP Gondolo 5009j from 2002 complete with papers. No original box, but a new leather PP travel case was provided. I purchased it from the European Watch Company (superb service by Tony). I looked at and tried on many watches — Moser, VC (includin...
Congratulations...
...I saw this for sale as well...a great blend between modern and vintage...
Congrats on becoming a Patek collector ! 👍
This classy and classic gondola as your first Patek piece is a good choice. Enjoy it often ! IMO The applied numerals makes this watch comes alive !
love it! I'm that rare person that thinks the Gondolo line is the most handsome PP watches out there. Love the case shapes and dial designs.
Congrats on that one! I recently bought my 'grail watch' from them as well, and found the service to be excellent as well. THanks for sharing and enjoy
Big congrats 👏 , what a classy watch 👍👌👌
Enjoy it and wear it in the best of your health !
Very nice Gondolo watch. Wonderful picture. 👍
I too like it in yellow gold. Congratulations. Enjoy. Cool watch. Geross.
Awesome watch
You must have had great trip to see, check and try several watches on your wrist and fly back home having a new watch on your wrist.
Nice one, I had never seen this ref before.
It looks very large though, because if I compare it to my 5109 (obviously an evolution of your 5009), the small seconds dial is much more centered, as it cuts off part of the 6 index (for comparison: ) I assume it is the same 215PS movement inside ...
Congratulations to you as well. I wanted a rectangular watch in gold — as opposed to another circular dial — with discreet charm.
The PP Gondolos from this era fit the bill — with a great price point to boot.
Mission accomplished for you then. A good choice.
In case you are interested in the back story to the Gondolo, and in its Brazilian legacy rather than that of the watch maker, I'm slowly assembling tidbits here: . Best regards.
