Description
An exceptional and historically significant Patek Philippe Chronometer Gondolo, originally manufactured as a high-grade pocket watch and recently custom-converted into a modern luxury 48mm wristwatch using a bespoke stainless-steel case.
This piece is believed to have been produced for the Saudi Arabian Royal Court, featuring a beautifully executed dial with a portrait traditionally associated with King Abdulaziz Ibn Saud and the Saudi coat of arms (palm tree with crossed swords). These decorative elements add immense cultural and collectible value and are rarely seen on Patek Philippe watches of any era.
The movement is a genuine high-grade Patek Philippe & Co. Genève Chronometer/Gondolo type, fully serviced and currently in perfect working order, keeping excellent time and ready to wear.
