Patek Philippe Gondolo – Ref. 5030J-001

The Patek Philippe Gondolo ref. 5030J-001 is an elegant tonneau-shaped dress watch combining the distinctive geometry of the Gondolo collection with the convenience of an automatic movement. Produced from the mid-1990s into the early 2000s, the reference was offered in several precious metals; the 5030J denotes the classic 18kt yellow-gold version.

Case

The sculpted tonneau-shaped case is crafted from 18kt yellow gold and measures approximately 34 mm wide × 41 mm long, with a slim profile of around 7.5 mm.

Dial

The opaline silvered dial features beautifully applied 18kt yellow-gold Breguet-style Arabic numerals, complemented by matching gold hands and a fine peripheral minute track.

A discreet date aperture at 3 o’clock adds practicality without disturbing the symmetry of the tonneau-shaped dial, while a central sweep seconds hand completes the display.

Movement

Powered by the automatic Patek Philippe calibre 315 SC, a beautifully finished manufacture movement with 30 jewels and approximately 46–48 hours of power reserve.

The calibre provides hours, minutes, central seconds and quick-set date. Period examples also document the movement with the Geneva Seal, as expected for Patek Philippe production of this era.

Strap

Fitted with its original Patek Philippe leather strap and original 18kt yellow-gold Patek Philippe buckle.

Condition

Very nice overall condition with light signs of wear. The movement runs accurately. Recent in-house revision in August 2026.
