Pre-Owned Patek Philippe Gondolo Calendario Ref. 5135J

Explore the pre-owned Patek Philippe Gondolo Calendario Ref. 5135J, an 18K yellow-gold automatic annual calendar produced from 2004 to 2011. Introduced in 2004, the Ref. 5135 was the first complicated model in the Gondolo collection and brought Patek Philippe's annual calendar into an Art Deco-inspired, non-round case. The 5135J measures 38 mm wide by 51 mm long and is now discontinued. Its two-tone silvered dial has an engine-turned or guilloché center, applied yellow-gold Arabic numerals, and dart-shaped indexes. Weekday, date, and month appear through three apertures spanning roughly 10 to 2 o'clock. At 6 o'clock, a single subdial combines the moon phase and 24-hour indication. The automatic calibre is identified as 324 S QA LU 24H, while auction and archival records describe early examples as 324/205 and a circa 2009 watch as 324/206. Early 324/205 examples are documented with 34 jewels, Geneva Seal certification, a 21K gold rotor, and a four-arm Gyromax balance. Sotheby's reported in 2019 that fewer than 35 yellow-gold Ref. 5135 examples had appeared at auction by then. Every watch is authenticated and backed by The 1916 Company's 2-year warranty.
