Catalogue Essay
Inspired by the elongated, cushion-shaped form of the Chronomètre Gondolo, Patek Philippe’s reference 5135 “Gondolo Calendario” was launched in 2004 in yellow and white gold, and remained in production until 2011, with the platinum and pink gold versions added during the production run. The very generously proportioned case was made by Patek Philippe's in-house casemaker Atelier Réunis, and the dial by Stern Créations, also in-house. Fitted with the automatic caliber 324, the 5135 features the complex yet useful annual calendar complication.

This platinum example is set apart by two semi-triangular cut diamonds at three and six o’clock, adding a subtle hint of elegance and flair. In production until 2011, the reference 5135P offered here is replete with its original Certificate of Origin and in overall excellent condition.
