Overview
Diamonds and Akoya pearls on a cushion case
The Patek Philippe Gondolo Haute Joaillerie, reference 7042/100G-010, in white gold, a cushion case set with 552 diamonds and 79 Akoya pearls, with a diamond-paved dial and blackened white gold leaf-shaped hands, on the white gold bracelet. Manually wound calibre 215 behind a sapphire back; 31 × 34.8 mm, 7.95 mm high.
The reference 7042/100 is the Gondolo Haute Joaillerie: a cushion-shaped case in the Art Deco manner, 31 × 34.8 mm and 7.95 mm high, set with diamonds in several cuts — Patek Philippe names brilliant, baguette, trapeze and princess — and with Akoya pearls the brand describes as perfectly rounded. Dial and dial flange carry 359 diamonds (1.28 cts), the hour markers are set with 12 trapeze-cut diamonds (0.14 ct), the bezel and lugs with 78 baguette diamonds (2.45 cts), and the crown with a single Akoya pearl cabochon (0.14 ct). The bracelet carries 78 Akoya pearls (53.04 cts) and 48 diamonds (2.4 cts), and the fold-over clasp 55 diamonds (0.24 ct): 79 pearls (53.18 cts) and 552 diamonds (6.51 cts) in all, by Patek Philippe's count.
The movement is the manually wound calibre 215, a compact movement 21.9 mm across and 2.55 mm high, with 117 parts and 18 jewels, a power reserve of at least 44 hours, a Spiromax® balance spring at 28,800 semi-oscillations an hour and the Patek Philippe Seal. It is shown through a sapphire crystal case back, which Patek Philippe presents as the point of pairing a jewellery watch with a mechanical movement. The dial plate is 18K gold, paved with diamonds in a circular setting, and the case is water-resistant to 30 m.
For collectors
Patek Philippe counts the setting component by component, and the pearls are its distinguishing element: 79 Akoya pearls against 552 diamonds, with the bracelet carrying 78 of the pearls. The sapphire back is listed as showing the movement, so the mechanical side is meant to be seen on a watch whose case and bracelet are otherwise entirely set.
