Not always
on the radar the 5135 Gondolo, I love mine, annual calendar/moon phase, looks like the lugs protrude over my wrist it's only the angle, very comfortable. Had mine from memory since 2006, never serviced keeps exceptional time.
One of the most under rated Pateks in my opinion. patek.jpg |

When it comes to rectangular watches I like the 5100. The power reserve is amazing.

Beautiful model you have :)
The Gondolo family (and Ellipse in a certain way) has a very special feel to it. Elegance with an original touch. It definitely has character. I loved the 5024G with Salmon dial I tried a few years ago. By the way, the Gondolo will celebrate its 30th anniversary in 2023. Who knows... |

I have always liked Gondolo models I have tried on. I’m about to maybe make a mistake and get my first rectangular case without trying it on but the complication is so unique I can’t pass it up.

This is the Patek for me, has been for years, and the one that will basically complete my collection. Nice to finally see one as well. Looks fantastic and just confirms how nice this reference is.... Edited to add: almost pulling the trigger on this one, but it just didn't click with me, then I saw the 5135 and knew. I know, people will think I've got it backwards.... |
