18k White Gold Patek Philippe Gondolo Reference 3671/1 First Owner Watch with Original Box, Serviced

The Gondolo line has always been Patek Philippe at its most daringly elegant. Long before oversized sports watches became the industry’s default answer, the manufacture was already mastering the art of proportion, geometry, and restraint through these sculptural dress pieces. 

This example is a wonderful reminder of that unmatched savoir-faire: An ultra-thin white gold wrist-sculpture, paired to a beautifully textured integrated bracelet that melts around the wrist.  

An outstanding example of wearable elegance, preserved in remarkable condition and executed with the kind of understated confidence only true connoisseurs tend to notice from across the room.

MODEL/REFERENCE: Patek Philippe Gondolo reference 3671/1 in 18k white gold. This elegant model dates likely from the 1970s and comes directly from its first owner, who acquired it from the Patek Philippe retailer Gübelin in Luzern, Switzerland.   Inventory Code: UVO-02.  

DIAL+HANDS: The blue sunburst Sigma dial is preserved is virtually flawless condition, displaying a rich and vibrant tone that turns from electric cobalt to midnight blue with every move. The crisp white printing contrasts wonderfully against the surface, while the applied solid white gold hour markers add depth and light play throughout. The original white gold stick hands are in excellent condition and perfectly complement the minimalist and architectural aesthetic of the watch. 

CRYSTAL: Sapphire crystal in excellent overall condition, showing no damage or blemishes. 

CASE: Crafted in 18k white gold, the elegant three-body case measures 26.5x26mm and Its remarkably slim profile at 4.4mm showcases the restrained sophistication that defines the Gondolo collection.  The surface appears to be very lightly polished, if not at all, as it still retains its original profiling lines, balanced proportions and sharp edges throughout. Minor surface hairlines and tiny wear marks are present, consistent with careful use over time.  

CASEBACK: The snap-on white gold case back is signed and correctly stamped throughout, including the case and reference numbers. The inner side shows a master case maker hallmark, indicating Ateliers Réunis S.A. that was later purchased by Patek Philippe.  

The surface remains in very good overall condition with very faint scratches, on top of a vertically brushed surface and crisp hallmarks.  

CROWN: Original white gold crown signed with the Calatrava cross. It operates correctly from winding to hand-setting. 

MOVEMENT: Patek Philippe mechanical calibre 175. Adorned with the Geneva seal, this beautifully finished ultra-thin movement is signed, numbered, and adjusted to five positions as well as heat, cold, and isochronism. The movement has been serviced, runs strong and keeps accurate time. 

BRACELET: Sublimely finished, integrated mesh bracelet in 18k white gold, with signed clasp. The bracelet remains in very attractive overall condition with minimal surface wear throughout and no major scratches. It should fit approx. a 17cm wrist.
