The movement in working condition when cataloguing, would benefit from a service in a near future. The dial in good condition with few scuffs to the center. The case with the inevitable light scuffs and scratches throughout due to age, the guilloche on the back a bit rubbed to the edge due to age and use. The back of the presentation case with a period tag with the movement number inscribed. An attractive classic from Patek Philippe. Please note the movement has not been tested for time keeping and a service might be required at the buyer's expense.

Watches made by Patek Philippe for the illustrious Brazilian firm of Gondolo & Labouriau are prized as some of the best examples of the high-quality watches from the turn of the last century.

Watches made for Gondolo are characterized by movements bearing cam-wheel regulators and 9k gold gear train wheels. The present example is of particular note as it bears all of the original accompaniments that would have been sold with it in Rio de Janeiro over a century ago.
