Here's a nice one...
Patek Philippe 5099RG Gondolo Cabriolet Two Tone 18K RG / WG Rose Dial. Something I really like about lidded watches like this. Maybe it's just the necessary interaction. This one is particularly beautiful. All 28.5mm of it. Photo from European Watch Co. ...
The design itself dates from the 1930s. Somewhat surprisingly several companies their own versions of this watch, with the case being supplied by the same maker.
Here’s an original 1930s example from the Cresarrow watch company. ...

Yes! I saw your article.
Now that "From the Digest" comes up after a post I saw your in depth feature on this watch. I knew you'd be well aware of this one as soon as I saw it on ECW.

That's interesting to hear

It's a fun piece to be sure, and I love the mixed color of metals too. The case is fun, though she has some heft.
The vintage-themed dial is easy to read. You should go see it to enjoy how the fun top pops up, and feel her on your wrist. Pls say hi to Albert for me.
