Patek Philippe Chronometro Gondolo



|
Mint
condition and barely used Patek Philippe Chronometro Gondolo 18 K rose
gold antique pocket watch with extract from the archives and modern
Patek Philippe box. The watch has been in a safe most of its life, the
case has never been polished and there are no cracks or chips in the
enamel dial. The name "Gondolo"
that designates one of the families in the current Patek
Philippe line originates from a chapter of the company's
history that unfolded in Brazil. Between 1900 and 1928, the Geneva
workshops produced "Chronometro
Gondolo" pocket and wristwatches for Gondolo &
Labouriau, a jeweler in Rio de Janeiro. Patek
Philippe's relationship with Gondolo & Labouriau began in
1872, when Patek
Philippe delivered its first pocket watch to Gondolo.
Initially, Gondolo & Labouriau distributed ordinary pocket watches
from the Patek
Philippe range. The first, sold on Nov. 12, 1872, was an
18-ligne pocket watch with a lever escapement in a silver case. In
1900, the Rio de Janeiro jeweler commissioned Patek
Philippe to make an exclusive pocket watch henceforth
designated "Chronometro
Gondolo". The first deliveries were made that year. The
caliber of this model was made of gold-plated brass, in some cases with
rhodium finish, and adorned with Geneva striping. The caliber was the
same for all watch sizes and featured an S-shaped fourth wheel bridge
and two parallel curved cocks for the minute and escapement wheels, a
bridge for the spring barrel, and a massive cock for the ratchet. This
caliber design was typical of Patek
Philippe. It was patented in the United States on January 13,
1891, and the movements of most Chronometro
Gondolo models refer to this U.S. patent. The
technical specifications for the watches in this exclusive series were
specified by Gondolo & Labouriau as follows: 1. A Swiss lever
escapement with a lever having lateral winglet-shaped counter poises,
called the moustache lever due to its shape. 2. A precision regulator
using a cam wheel regulator according to Swiss patent No. 142376 applied
for by Adrien Philippe and granted on April 16,1880. 3. Fourth,
intermediate, and minute wheels made of 9K rose gold. 4. A square socket
in the mainspring barrel arbor. Several
features of the movement did not have to be explicitly specified because
they were the norm around 1900 for a watch manufacturer of Patek
Philippe's stature. They include the winding wheels with
saw-toothed or wolfs-tooth profiles; 18, 19, 20, or 21 jewels; a Breguet-style
curved over coil of the flat balance spring; and a bimetallic
compensation balance. The Gondolo & Labouriau inventive marketing
techniques enabled them to become the world's largest retailer of Patek
Philippe watches. The watch is in immaculate condition inside and out.
The case is made from 18 karat rose gold and is unpolished and has no
wear of any significance as it has been in a safe for most of its life.
The case is fully hallmarked on the inner cover and correctly stamped,
as is the inner dust cover. The case back is factory engraved as many of
the Coronometro Gondolo watches were specifically made for customers.
The engraving is of high quality an clearly factory engraved. Also the
extract from the archives states that it is engine turned engraved with
the initials CM. The movement is a 20 jewel counter poised moustache
lever escapement, the winding wheels are saw-toothed or wolfs-tooth
profiles, Breguet
curved over coil of the flat balance spring; and a bimetallic
compensation balance and it has 9 karat gold fourth, intermediate and
minute wheels. The watch face is an open face bassine style with white
enamel dial and Roman numerals and small second hand. The dial is fully
and correctly marked. The date of manufacture is 1907 and was sold on
6th August 1907. This is a wonderful collectors piece in immaculate
condition and a collector’s dream watch in perfect running order. The
width is 51mm and thickness is 14 mm. Ref

such as the winding crown and setting mechanism, and setting records for

course grain brushed finish to the top and polished case sides with
crown protecting shoulders. The case back is screw down with a screw
down crown allowing a water resistance of 120 metres, so should be

ands naturally the crystal to the front of the watch is also a sapphire
crystal. The movement is a
mechanical automatic with date at the 3 position and central sweep
