Catalogue Essay The Gondolo Calendario ref. 5135 was introduced by Patek Philippe in 2004, pays homage to the elegance of the Art Deco era. This tonneau-shaped design with its refined modern proportions was initially released in white and yellow gold, followed by a version in pink gold. The final iteration, like the present example, was crafted in platinum and introduced in 2006. This modern interpretation of the Gondolo Calendario is equipped with the caliber 324, which incorporates their patented annual calendar function. The practical annual calendar automatically advances the month, day, and date, requiring manual correction only once a year on the 1st of March. The ref. 5135P, in particular, is the most luxurious variant of this reference. Its platinum case is accompanied by two delicate details on the slate grey sunburst dial that set it apart from regular iterations. The 3 and 9 o'clock markers are adorned with diamonds, lending a subtle elegance that complements the cool hue of the dial. The ref. 5135 was produced until 2011 and is no longer featured in the current Patek Philippe catalogue. The present example, fresh-to-the-market and offered in attractive condition, comes with its Certificate of Origin and presentation box.
