-Description
Patek Philippe is a watch brand founded in Geneva in 1839. The company uses its unparalleled quality and technical expertise to make watches without any compromise.
The independence of the family business and the reliability that all watches can be repaired create a value as an asset that can be passed on from generation to generation.
In addition to the fact that it continues to be the world's premier manufacture, the brand is also synonymous with luxury watches due to the extremely small number of watches produced.
This watch is a Gondolo reference 5010 manufactured in the late 1990s.
The Gondolo Collection is named after Gondolo & Labouriau, a prominent Rio de Janeiro retailer with whom Patek Philippe had a strong business relationship from 1872 to 1927.
The long relationship with Patek Philippe led to the creation of the Chronometro Gondolo pocket watch, a watch created especially for this Brazilian retailer.
At a time when Europe was suffering through years of depression and facing World War II, Gondolo & Labouriau was the sole distributor of nearly a third of all Patek Philippe watches produced.
The collection has a very long history that continues to this day and is mainly ladies' watches. Patek's flagship watch is the Calatrava, which has a round case, but the Gondolo collection consists of other non-round watches such as tonneau and rectangular watches.
This watch has a rectangular case, 25.5mm wide and 33mm long, slightly larger than the men's size of Cartier Tank.
If you look at it from the side, you can see that the case is rounded and bulging. The glass is also round, which is a major design feature.
The dial is a matt white dial with large Roman numerals. The large small seconds and uniquely shaped hands are a very classic Art Deco design.
Most this reference watches come with a leather strap, but this watch has a very rare integrated bracelet. The material is 18K yellow gold, which is the same as the case.
This is a large 5-row rice bracelet with bulging links just like the case. The buckle part has a Calatrava cross and unique decoration, giving it a very different impression from the leather belt specification.
Although the bracelet feels heavy due to the large links, it fits comfortably on your wrist and is very comfortable to wear.
The length of the bracelet is approximately 18.3cm around the arm and can be finely adjusted using the buckle. Since it is a type that can be removed, it can be adjusted up to about 16cm. (It will take some time to adjust the frames. Thank you for your understanding.)
The installed movement is hand-wound Cal.215. It is a small movement with a size of 10 ligne (approximately 22.5mm) and was introduced around 1978 as a successor to Cal.23-300.
It is a very classic thin manual-winding movement, and is still used in current models such as Ref 5196 after more than 40 years.

Our stance is that "customers can use good products with peace of mind for a long time."
In order to achieve this, the presence of a skilled repair craftsman is essential.
How well the work is done depends largely on the thoughts of the craftsman.
The watchmakers who Arbitro asks are craftsmen who do not cut corners in such areas, so we ask them to carry out the repair work with peace of mind.
About Complete Service
Complete service, sometime called overhaul is the work of disassembling a mechanical product down to its individual parts, cleaning and reassembling it to bring it closer to its new state of performance.
Roughly speaking, the overhaul procedure is as follows.
1. Separate into case and movement
2. Disassemble the movement
3. Inspection and pre-cleaning of wear condition of each part
4. Wash parts with a special machine
5. Lubrication and assembly
6. Waterproof test
7. Final adjustment and running test.
Some movements are made up of hundreds of parts, but it is a very meticulous process of disassembling them one by one, inspecting them all, cleaning them, and reassembling them.
If you don't overhaul, the oil will deteriorate just like a car, and the risk of wear and damage to parts increases, causing a decrease in accuracy and, in severe cases, not working.
There is also the reason that it will be very expensive to replace parts after they are found to be damaged, so we recommend overhauling once every 2-3 years for economical and long-term use.
About Polishing
Vintage watches have been used for decades, and even the stainless steel used in many watches has rounded corners that were originally sharp, and has many small scratches even though the mirror finish should be beautiful. state.
At Arbitro, some watches are sold with a new finish, based on the idea that you can purchase them in beautiful condition and use them for a long time.
In particular, gold-cased dress watches are finished to bring out the best of the precious metal case.
The watches sold by us that have been given a new finish are shot in very high definition, so you can see that the edges stand out and the light is reflected by the mirror finish.
Also, depending on the case or bracelet, there are cases where multiple finishes such as mirror finish and hairline finish are mixed, but there are not many craftsmen who can distinguish between them and finish them at a high level.
In addition, the “thinness of the case” is also a part that is greatly influenced by the skill of the craftsman.
A watch that has become thinner and has thinner lugs is far from its original design, and the appearance becomes unbalanced.
It is a very precise work that brings the case closer to the original finish by eliminating scratches and dents while reducing the thickness of the case to the utmost limit.
Of course, there are cases where it is better to use the watch as it is, in order to emphasize the history of the watch and its original condition.
We look at each watch and judge whether it is best to finish it before selling it.
