Patek Philippe Chronometro Gondolo Watch and Gemstone Jewelry Highlights Upcoming Intervendue Auction

Patek Philippe’s Gondolo pocket watch collection was named after the famous Rio de Janeiro retailer Gondolo & Labouriau. Gondolo & Labouriau and Patek Philippe shared business connections from 1872 to 1927. Their successful bond led to the Chronometro Gondolo, a custom timepiece collection made especially for the Brazil-based retailer. Chronometro Gondolo pocket watches were Patek Philippe’s best-selling pieces in the early 1900s. The upcoming Intervendue auction presents a selection of gemstone jewelry and timepieces, including a Patek Philippe Chronometro Gondolo pocket watch. The 18-karat yellow gold pocket watch has the signature Chronometro Gondolo movement with a distinct gold gear-train. 

The auction also showcases diamond, platinum, and gold jewelry pieces. One highlight is an alexandrite, diamond, and 14-karat white gold ring. The GIA-certified ring has 7.59-carat chrysoberyl alexandrite and tiered diamonds. Alexandrite gemstones were discovered during the 1830s in the Ural Mountains, near the Tokovaya river region. They are known for their color-changing properties. A platinum Art Deco diamond bracelet and a Victorian diamond and natural pearl brooch will be featured as well. 

This gemstone jewelry and timepieces auction also presents a Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti 18-karat gold chain necklace. The pendant is from Elsa Peretti’s Open Heart collection. Cartier jewelry pieces, Frascarolo enamel jewelry, and Rolex, Longines, and Piaget wristwatches round out the catalog.
