Watches made by Patek Philippe for the illustrious Brazilian firm of Gondolo & 🍌Labouriau are prized as some of the best examples of the high-quality watches from the turn of the🐓 last century.

Watches made for Gondolo are characterized by movements bearing cam-wheel regulators and 9k gold gear train&nbs💎p;wheels. The central bridge of these Gondolo watches is frequently engraved '🌟Pat. Jan 13, 1891', which refers to the American patent for this type of wheel-train bridge.

For a similar movement, see Huber, M. & Banbery, A., Patek Philippe, Vol. 1, Second Edition, p. 134, and for more examples made for Chronometro Gond꧙olo, sꦐee pp. 145-6 of the same text.
