The Patek Philippe Gondolo reference 3633 is a refined expression of 1970s design, crafted in 18k yellow gold and distinguished by its rare lapis lazuli dial. Celebrated for its rich, natural blue tones, the dial is subtly enlivened by delicate flecks of gold, echoing the warmth of the case and the yellow gold dauphine hands.
The watch is further distinguished by a full gold detachable bracelet decorated with a gadrooning motif, offering the versatility of being worn on bracelet or strap, seamlessly transitioning from day to evening wear.
Powered by the manual-winding calibre 177, the watch exemplifies Patek Philippe’s commitment to both elegance and reliability.
Accompanied by a Patek Philippe Extract from the Archives confirming its production and sale in 1976, the present example represents a highly attractive and uncommon iteration of the Gondolo line, particularly prized for its use of a hardstone dial.
