Silver dial with guilloché finish in the centre and around the edge. Arabic numeral hour markers. Railway-track minute track. Blued steel pear-shaped hands.

A model that forms part of Patek Philippe’s earliest wristwatch productions. This tonneau shape remains famous thanks to the ‘Chronomètre Gondolo’ watches sold by the retailer Gondolo & Labouriau, based in Rio de Janeiro, for whom Patek Philippe created an exclusive collection of watches from 1872 through to the 1920s.
An example on display at the Patek Philippe Museum under inventory number P-1322 features the same dial and hand configuration.
