I present absolutely gorgeous Patek Philippe & Cie. Genève Chronometro Gondolo & Labourian Rio de Janeiro 18K GOLD pocket watch from 1908: Some facts about THE GONDOLO - AN EXTRAORDINARY HERITAGE: The Gondolo collection was named after the famous retailer in Rio de Janeiro, Gondolo & Labouriau, with whom Patek Philippe enjoyed a strong and successful business relationship between 1872 and 1927. This bond resulted in the creation of timepieces - designed exclusively for the Brazilian retailer - named the “Chronometro Gondolo”. The collection initially consisted only of pocket watches, before the first wristwatches appeared in the 1920s.
