The 7042/100R-010 Gondolo With its rectangular, tonneau- or cushion-shaped cases, the Gondolo collection brings together most of Patek Philippe’s “form” watches, the term for all those that are not round. their strong lines, timeless style and geometric simplicity are a contemporary interpretation of the art deco style, which coincided with one of Patek Philippe’s own golden ages. In introducing the Gondolo, Patek Philippe has reinterpreted – with a subtle infusion of modernity – some of the historical pieces that are part of its heritage and may be admired in the Patek Philippe museum. This watch features a mechanical manually wound movement, Caliber 215. The dial is paved with 251 diamonds (~0.73 ct) set in a circular pattern and 12 trapeze-cut diamond hour markers (~0.14 ct), with an 18K gold dial plate. The rose gold case has dimensions of 31 × 34.8 mm and a height of 7.95 mm, and is water-resistant to 30 meters. The crown is set with an Akoya pearl cabochon, and the case back is sapphire crystal. The gemsetting includes 78 baguette diamonds (~2.33 ct) on the bezel and lugs, 108 diamonds (~0.33 ct) on the dial flange, 251 diamonds (~0.73 ct) on the dial, and 12 trapeze-cut diamond hour markers (~0.14 ct). The bracelet is set with 78 Akoya pearls (~48.85 ct) and rose gold decorative links set with 48 princess-cut diamonds (~2.28 ct), and the fold-over clasp is set with 55 diamonds (~0.23 ct), totaling 552 diamonds (~6.04 ct).
