This Patek Philippe, oh, it’s a real fancy one, they call it Gondolo 7041R-001. Heard some folks talkin’ ’bout it down at the market. They say it’s a remake, a new one made to look like the old ones, classic style, you see.
They say this watch, this PP Gondolo, it’s got some special name. Gondolo, they call it. Sounds like that fella from Rio, that Gondolo & Labouriau. Long time ago, back in 1872, all the way to 1927, Patek Philippe, they did good business with him. Sold a lot of watches, I reckon.
Gondolo 7041R-001, Fancy Watch
This here watch, it ain’t round like most. It’s more like a, like a rectangle, I guess you’d say. Rose gold, that’s what they told me. Shiny and pinkish. And got them little diamonds, sparkly things, all around the inside edge. Real fancy, that is. 30.0 x 33.8 mm, whatever that means. Sounds small to me, but what do I know?
They say the face of it, the dial, is silver. Got them old-timey numbers, Roman numerals, they call ’em. Printed on there, not stuck on. And a little hand down at the bottom, for the seconds, tickin’ away. Busy little thing.
- Rose Gold, shiny like a new penny
- Diamonds, sparkly like the stars at night
- Silver Dial, with them old-timey numbers
- Patek Philippe Gondolo 7041R-001, that’s the whole name
- Classic style, like they used to make ’em
Patek Philippe, That’s a Big Name
Now, this Patek Philippe, that’s a big name. Everyone knows that name. Means it’s a good watch, a real good one. Cost a lot of money, I bet. More than I’d ever see in my whole life, probably.
This new one, this remake, they say it’s from 2024. Brand spankin’ new. Comes in a box, a real nice one, I imagine. And got papers with it, too. Important papers, they say. Tell you all about the watch, I reckon.
This ain’t no ordinary watch, no sir. This is a Patek Philippe Gondolo. Special watch, for special folks, I guess. Not for the likes of me, but it’s nice to look at, ain’t it?
They got a whole bunch of these Gondolo watches. They say its timeless style, and geometric simplicity, it got the art deco style. Whatever that means. Sounds fancy, though.
Gondolo Classic Style, Real Pretty
This Gondolo 7041R-001, it’s a classic. That’s what they call it. Means it’s like the old ones, the ones they don’t make no more. But this one’s new, so you get the best of both worlds, I reckon. Old style, new watch.
Got a brown strap, they say. Leather, I bet. Good leather, too. Not that cheap stuff. This is a Patek Philippe, remember? They don’t use no cheap stuff.
You gotta wind it yourself, too. No batteries in this one. You gotta twist that little knob on the side. Keeps it tickin’. Like the old days. My grandpa had a watch like that. Had to wind it every day.
- 2024, that’s when it was made
- Manual winding, gotta wind it yourself
- Brown strap, probably good leather
- Gondolo 7041R-001, that’s the one
Expensive Watch, That’s for Sure
I heard some folks talkin’ ’bout the price. Nearly made me fall over. More than a new car, they said! Can you believe that? For a watch! But like I said, this ain’t no ordinary watch. This is a Patek Philippe Gondolo.
They say you can buy ’em online, these watches. Some website called Chrono24. Never heard of it. But I guess if you got that kind of money, you can buy anything online these days. Even a Patek Philippe Gondolo 7041R-001.
Well, that’s all I know about this here watch. It’s a real beauty, ain’t it? Maybe someday, if I win the lottery, I’ll get me one. But until then, I’ll just keep on dreamin’. This remake Patek Philippe PP Gondolo 7041R-001 is really something.
