The present lot, Patek Philippe Reference 5098R-001 Gondolo features a beautiful tonneau-shaped wristwatch that draws inspiration from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods. The timepiece has a masterfully handcrafted Guilloche dial that creates a compelling, yet refined aesthetic. There are many facets within the dial to captivate and reflect light. The whimsical Breguet numerals and spade hands further reflect motifs from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods. The 18k rose gold case and dial disk have a charming contrast against the silver guilloche dial.

Reference 5098R-001 features a sapphire case back that displays Patek Philippe inhouse Caliber 25-21REC. The manual-winding movement is rectangular-shaped to appropriately fit the case. The bridges and plates feature Côtes de Genève and anglage hand finishing.
