Patek Philippe Gondolo Ref. 3729 — Black Onyx Dial, 18k Yellow Gold
Price varies by material and stone selection.
Few watches command a room quite like the Patek Philippe Gondolo. This Ref. 3729 in 18k yellow gold is a masterclass in Art Deco elegance — its dramatic black onyx dial creating a striking contrast against the warm luster of the gold case and integrated bracelet. A piece that transcends trends and speaks directly to the connoisseur.
A Legacy Rooted in Brazil
Patek Philippe's Ref. 3729 belongs to the maison's long tradition of elegant form watches, a lineage closely associated with the historic Brazilian retailer Gondolo & Labouriau. Beginning in the late 19th century, the Rio de Janeiro firm became one of Patek Philippe's most important international partners and inspired the celebrated Chronometro Gondolo watches created for the Brazilian market. Decades later, Patek Philippe revived the Gondolo name for its family of distinctive non-round watches. With its geometric case, black onyx dial, and manually wound movement, Ref. 3729 reflects this same spirit of refined, architectural watchmaking — a striking continuation of that broader Gondolo design heritage.
