Catalogue Essay
Taking inspiration from the brand's past, reference 5098 is directly inspired by the tonneau-shaped watches retailed at the famed Gondolo & Labouriau in Rio de Janeiro. Displaying all the gentle curves of its predecessor, it most notably displays a beautifully-made guillloché dial with brown Arabic numerals in the style of 1920s timepieces. The dial pays homage to the brand's past by displaying "Chronometro Gondolo" at 6 o'clock. Even the lugs are held by screws, giving a nod to the oversized Tonneau watches of the past.
Although not in production anymore today, reference 5098 perfectly exemplifies how Patek Philippe continually reaches into its archives to bring history and culture into their new releases. The present watch is preserved in excellent condition and is complete with its original certificate and presentation box.
