PATEK PHILIPPE ‘CHRONOMETRO GONDOLO’ POCKET WATCH

During the late 19th and early 20th century, Chronometro Gondolo & Labouriau was Patek Philippe’s number one global client. Tiffany & Co. was a humble number two in comparison. This Chronometro Gondolo was the watch that built the empire for the prominent Brazilian retailer. From 1872 until 1927, Patek Philippe’s partnership with Chronometro Gondolo created some of the most beautiful pocket and wristwatches at the dawn of the modern era.
