{"product_id":"patek-philippe-gondolo-3490-silver-dial-on-leather","title":"Patek Philippe Gondolo 3490 Silver Dial on Leather","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ref. 3490 belongs to Patek Philippe's Gondolo family, a line that draws its name — and its geometry — from the Gondolo \u0026amp; Labouriau retail partnership of the early twentieth century. Where most dress watches of the postwar era defaulted to round cases, the Gondolo line preserved the rectilinear tradition: a squared form that demands a different kind of movement architecture and a different relationship between case and wrist. This example is manual winding, which in a watch of this proportion is the correct choice — no rotor to add thickness, no automatic weight to disturb the slim profile that makes a 26 x 26mm case sit so quietly beneath a cuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe silver dial with stick indices is the configuration that ages best in this reference. Applied batons on silver read with a clarity that more elaborate dials obscure, and the 18 karat yellow gold case gives the whole thing a warmth that white metal simply doesn't match here. The original Patek Philippe strap and 18 karat gold buckle are present, which matters: a replacement strap on a watch this size changes the wearing experience more than it would on something larger. In certain light, the silver dial shifts almost imperceptibly between warm and cool — a quality no photograph has ever managed to settle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOffered in very good condition throughout, with the bracelet showing good condition with signs of wear consistent with age. Watch only, no papers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55048204091605,"sku":"IT5153","price":7490.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0819\/3182\/9461\/files\/3141-2094-max.webp?v=1790261823","url":"https:\/\/iconic-timepieces.com\/products\/patek-philippe-gondolo-3490-silver-dial-on-leather","provider":"Iconic Timepieces","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
