Congratulations! My wife and I met Vijay a few years ago. We stopped in, and even though we made it clear we were just window shopping and didn't want to waste his time, he sat with us for about half an hour while we talked watches and tried on a few pieces. A real stand-up fellow.

Thank You. I have known Vijay for many years, having first met him when he worked at another AD. I will be certain to share your comment with him. He will be delighted.

Cheers,
Carl

One of my favourite watches in my collection, congratulations! Will share some pics of this classic Patek timepiece, the curved movement is particularly noteworthy.

Incredible that this watch is now hard to get. It really is one of the standouts in the current line-up. Glad you got it. Looks great on you.

Can't stop looking at the Gondolo. This is absolutely on my list.

Congrats to the OP and others who own this wonderful piece. I wonder this is the end of the line of mens Gondolo.

Stunning piece, well done. I have the white gold G version but I’d love to add this, too. The Gondolo is so much better to wear that I suspect many realise.

I generally do not love this series, but the pics are persuasive and it's clearly an elegant piece-great buy!!

Beautiful, when I saw the title of the post, thought it was the Gondolo I'm looking at, personally, I like them all.

I'm looking at the Gondolo Rose Gold 5135 for this year.

Congrats on the great Incoming and enjoy....

Beautiful watch!! I've always had the 5124G with the salmon dial on my mind but have hesitated to pull the trigger because I wasn't sure how a gondolo case would fit into my rotation. Your post may have pushed me ever that much closer to the edge!

There are not many 5124G on the market. That salmon dial is a keeper. I wish I had bought one when they were available new.
