Why We Love It

Patek Philippe is one of the few brands that knows how to execute simple perfection. 

Over the years, their Gondolo line has evolved, and exhibited many different shapes and sizes, but the look remains unmistakable and iconic. Its rich history provides enthusiasts in all facets of watches with a variety of choices in metals, sizes, and tiny details to obsess over.

This Reference 5014G dates to circa 2000 and features an 18k white gold case with a traditional 'square tank' configuration, making it one of the more understated examples of the Goldolo collection. It also features a glossy black dial with applied Arabic indices, subsidiary seconds display at 6:00, and simple stick handset. To top it off, it is powered by a manual-winding Calibre 215 movement that invites the wearer to engage with the timepiece daily.

This watch has it all - versatility, pedigree, wearability, refinement, and an understated appeal.

This is what Patek Philippe does better than anyone.

The Patek Philippe Story

Patek Philippe.

Founded in 1839, Patek Philippe is one of the oldest watch manufacturers in the world with an uninterrupted watchmaking history. Few luxury brands in the world carry the gravitas of their name, and for good reason.  The firm's commitment to excellence in horological manufacture is unflinching, and their track record of innovation in design without peer.  They continue to lead the industry, and even their fiercest competitors have nothing but the utmost respect for the company.

Owning a Patek Philippe is for many the ultimate goal of timepiece collecting, and for a certain type, the only timepieces they collect. Whichever way you look at it, there is no questioning the elegance of design, superlative manufacture of their cases and movements, or the sheer elegance and emotion that comes from owning one.

Of course for a brand that is steeped in heritage, we are told ‘You never actually own a Patek Philippe…”
