Launched during the Watch Art Grand Exhibition in Milan, Patek Philippe’s Gondolo Ladies First epitomises modern luxury

The fully polished gold cushion-shaped case of Patek Philippe's new Gondolo Ladies First timepieces is a study in soft, voluptuous curves. Offered in diamond-set dials and full jewellery Joaillerie versions, these slender, quartz-driven watches sit flush on the wrist. These watches are powered by Patek Philippe’s E15 quartz movement, each component finished with the same dedication to craftsmanship as its mechanical movements. 

Each diamond-set dial features a sloping flange set with 108 diamonds in different sizes and near-invisible grain settings, creating a halo of light around the dial.

There are three options to choose from: white gold version comes with a blue-gray opaline dial (Ref. 7043G-001), a white gold with a silvery opaline dial (Ref. 7043R-001), and a rose gold with a chestnut opaline dial (Ref. 7043GR-001).

The three Joaillerie versions, their case, dial, and lugs entirely set in brilliant-cut diamonds, are dazzling without being ostentatious. Coloured stone hour markers lend them a pop of colour. The white gold case features blue topaz hour markers (Ref. 7043/250G-001), the rose gold green tsavorites (Ref. 7043/250R-001), and the white and rose gold purple amethysts (Ref. 7043/250GR-001).
