Highly exclusive, this yellow gold, diamond and emerald-set Haute Joaillerie ‘Gondolo’ watch with solid 18k yellow gold bracelet can only be described as spectacular. Accompanied by the original Certificate of Origin bearing Patek Philippe’s date code for April 1995, it is to the best of our knowledge, the first emerald-set reference 5045⁄13 to be offered at international auction.
As would be expected of a Patek Phiippe jewelled watch, the diamonds and emeralds are perfectly matched for colour and clarity. Overall, it is set with 24 baguette-cut emeralds weighing approximately 1.63 carats and 35 brilliant-cut diamonds weighing approximately 0.28 carats. The white dial is further enhanced with diamond hour markers.
This stunningly beautiful bracelet watch is one of Patek Philippe’s most exclusive neo-vintage lady’s timepieces, presenting watch collectors and those who admire and appreciate fine jewels the perhaps unique opportunity to acquire an example of this Haute Joaillerie ‘Gondolo’ model.
Reference 5045 was manufactured between 1994 and 2003 as an exclusive jewellery version of the Gondolo model. Only available in yellow gold and set with a combination of baguette and brilliant cut stones, diamond, sapphire, and emerald-set versions are known. In 30 years, only a handful of reference 5045 have ever appeared at auction which further underlines the scarcity of this jewelled Gondolo model.
