Okay, so, I’ve been eyeing this Patek Philippe Gondolo 7041R-001 for a while now. It’s a real beauty, you know? 18k rose gold, diamonds, the whole nine yards. I decided to finally pull the trigger and get one for myself.
First, I started looking around to see what kind of prices I was dealing with. I saw listings for all sorts of numbers. Some were around $25,838, others were up near $29,802, and I even saw one for a whopping $34,726! Crazy, right? It seemed like the price really depended on where you looked.
After looking and hunting, I finally found a listing for a brand new one, made in 2024. This particular model had the silver dial, which I really liked. It was listed at a price that I felt comfortable with, considering all the others I’d seen.
So, I contacted the seller and asked a bunch of questions about it. “Is it really new?”, “Does it come with the original box and papers?” You know, all the important stuff. The seller was pretty cool and answered everything honestly, which made me feel a lot better about the whole thing.
After a bit of back and forth, we finally settled on a price and I made the payment. Waiting for it to arrive was pure agony! I was so excited I could barely sleep.
Finally, the day came. The package arrived, and I ripped it open like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was! This Gondolo was even more stunning in person. The cushion-shaped case is just so elegant, and the 108 diamonds around the dial? Forget about it! They sparkle like crazy. I’m not usually a “diamonds” kind of guy, but these are something else.
- First look: Unbelievable. Way better than the pictures.
- Case: That 18k rose gold is just so warm and luxurious.
- Diamonds: 108 of them, and each one is perfect.
- Dial: Simple, clean, and classy. That silver dial is the perfect touch.
- Size: At 30 x 33.8 mm, it’s the perfect size for my wrist. Not too big, not too small.
I’ve been wearing it for a few days now, and I’m totally in love. It’s such a well-made watch, and it feels great on my wrist. Plus, it gets tons of compliments. Mission accomplished! This was definitely a purchase I won’t regret. The Gondolo is a classic, and now, it’s mine. It was not easy to buy a watch that I liked, but I did it!
