Introduced in 2007, the reference 5098 pays tribute to the famed watches created by Patek Philippe in the early part of the last century for Gondolo & Labouriau in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Gondolo & Labouriau was the sole retailer of Patek Philippe in South America from around 1872. When the firms' formal partnership ended in 1927, about one-third of Patek Philippe's entire production was sold through this luxury Brazilian retailer.
Reference 5098 features an attractive guilloché dial, and classic tonneau case based specifically on a 1920 wristwatch that is illustrated in Huber, M. & Banbery, A., Patek Philippe Wristwatches, p. 103.
