Taking inspiration from the elongated, cushion-shaped profile of the Chronomètre Gondolo, Patek Philippe unveiled the reference 5135, famously known as the "Gondolo Calendario," in 2004. Initially released in yellow and white gold, it remained in production until 2011. Later in its production cycle, platinum and pink gold versions were also introduced. The impressively proportioned case was meticulously crafted by Patek Philippe's in-house atelier, Atelier Réunis, while the dial was expertly fashioned by Stern Créations, also an in-house endeavor. Powered by the automatic caliber 324, the 5135 boasts a sophisticated yet practical annual calendar complication. The present lot is cased in white gold and features a gray dial that is further elevated by a prestigious Tiffany & Co. signature.
