Gondolo 5200 White Gold / White

In Context

At 32.4 mm it is small by current standards, in the range most wristwatches occupied before cases began growing through the 1990s. At 11.63 mm thick it is about average for a modern wristwatch. The case back is open, so the movement is visible without taking the watch apart, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. Rated to 30 m, it is protected against rain and splashes and nothing beyond that.

The movement is hand-wound, so winding it becomes part of the day rather than something the watch does for you. 192 hours of reserve puts it well past a weekend — several days off the wrist and it is still going. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

5200G-010 is one of 2 executions of the 5200G base reference. Underneath they are the same watch; what separates this one is a white dial and a white gold case.

Manual movement with 8 day power reserve and display for day and date. Patek Seal. 28 × 20 mm
