The Patek Philippe Gondolo reference 3859⁄1 is a very rare and elegant expression of the Maison's shaped dress watches, embodying the refined Art Deco-inspired aesthetic for which the Gondolo line is celebrated. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, the present example is distinguished by its particularly beautiful dial, combining luminous mother-of-pearl with contrasting onyx accents to create a sophisticated and highly unusual visual effect. The striking triple-stepped case, manufactured by the esteemed Atelier Réunis and identified by Geneva Key 28, lends strong architectural character to the design, while the integrated 18k gold bracelet flows seamlessly from the case with a streamlined and highly sculptural elegance. Rich in both texture and craftsmanship, this uncommon reference showcases the creativity and refined artistry of Patek Philippe’s late 20th-century production.
