It was a savvy move: while Europe faced economic hardship and the turmoil of a world war, Gondolo \u0026amp; Labouriau were selling nearly a third of all Patek Philippe watches produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"214\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"598\"\u003eDemand was extraordinary, and in Brazil, the brand became synonymous with time itself — people didn’t just buy a watch, they bought a Patek, even if it wasn’t one !\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"598\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"764\"\u003eIn 1902, Gondolo \u0026amp; Labouriau asked Patek Philippe to craft a pocket watch with a unique twist — a gold gear train — and thus the legendary Chronometro Gondolo line was born. By 1910, the first Chronometro Gondolo wristwatches had arrived, sporting square, rectangular, and tonneau cases that perfectly captured the flair of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"764\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1098\"\u003eThese watches weren’t shy: some reached an impressive 48mm in diameter, catering to Brazilian collectors who loved their timepieces to make a statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1098\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1252\"\u003eSeizing on the allure of exclusivity — having Switzerland’s finest watchmaker create pieces just for them — Gondolo \u0026amp; Labouriau launched a clever marketing coup: the “Gondolo Gang,” a watch-collecting club that celebrated and showcased their creations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1252\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1507\"\u003eThe “Plano do Club Patek Philippe System” was pure genius. Essentially a pay-by-installment plan, it let collectors spread the 790 Swiss franc price of a Chronometro Gondolo over 79 weeks — making these watches more accessible without losing their allure. But Gondolo \u0026amp; Labouriau didn’t stop there: each week, they held a lottery for club members, and if your number came up, you won the watch outright and skipped the remaining payments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1507\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1948\"\u003eThe weekly draws became more than just a lottery; they were social events. Members were treated to concerts, soirées, and parties, turning the Gondolo Gang into a lifestyle club as much as a watch-collecting circle — blending exclusivity, excitement, and the undeniable charm of Patek'..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"1948\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"2237\"\u003eWhen Patek Philippe re-introduced the “Gondolo “ collection in 1993 they offered Art Deco styling.this new generation of Patek Philippe watches featured cambered cases for a comfortable fit and, for the most part, came in rectangular cases…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"2237\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-renderer-start-pos=\"2480\"\u003eAt hand we have an 18 k white gold Gondolo ref 5111G ,Manufactured from 2004 to 2007.
