REPAIR & SERVICE
Patek Philippe Gondolo Ref 5098R
Gray & Sons Jewelers, located in Miami Beach, Florida is an independent watch service center, repairing Patek Philippe Gondolo Ref 5098R watches since 1980.
In a world led by brand names, no brand is more recognized by their craftsmanship of movements and elegant cases like Patek Philippe. With almost two centuries making amazing timepieces, Patek is considered the Rolls Royce in the watchmaking industry since 1845.
These beautiful timepieces come into our showroom along side amazing stories. In this particular situation this client was looking to upgrade to a newer Patek Philippe model and was looking to sell this watch to us. Gray & Sons has been in the business of buying and selling luxury high end Swiss made watches and estate jewelry like Ulysse Nardin, Cartier, Hublot, Vacheron Constantin, Frank Muller and other luxury brands for almost 40 years. We are the one stop location for watch repairs and maintenance for Rolex, Breitling, Tag Heuer, Blancpain, Patek Philippe, Omega and many more.
Every time a luxury watch comes into our store, our Swiss trained master watchmakers ensure proper authenticity and originality of every single watch. In the case of every Patek Philippe that we acquire, Gray and Sons will request archive papers directly from Patek Philippe Geneva. This is something that only Patek Philippe does and its always an amazing addition to any Patek Philippe watch collector.
This elegant Patek Philippe Gondolo Reference 5098R comes in a beautiful tonneau case in 18K rose gold. The name Gondolo originated by Brazilian retailer Gondolo & Labouraiu. Powered by the calibre 2521 manual wound movement, and displaying time on a beautiful hand-guilloched gold dial. Another distinguished characteristic of this watch is the unique cambered sapphire crystal back case. Despite all its beautiful characteristics on the outside, the watch needed some work done on the inside. Our client said it had been more than 4 years that the watch was serviced. Patek Philippe recommends a service on your watch every 3-5 years. There was no issue for the client however, because Gray and Sons will buy your watch and take care of the servicing. So whether your watch is undergoing some technical issues or physical damages, we are equipped with the man power to solve the case.
The process all starts with our watchmaker disassembling the watch and separating the case from the movement. If you are new to this language, it would be the same as if a mechanic separated the engine from the body of a car. The movement parts usually contain old dirt and excess oils when they haven’t been serviced in years. It is our job to remove every bit of old oil and apply fresh new oil to the movement and jewels. The way in which this oil is removed is through our 4-step solution cleaning machine. Once the machine does the job, we apply new oils. During this process, the case and buckle of the watch are getting polished to look smooth and scratch-less. After both jobs are done, our master watchmaker assembles the parts and regulates the movement in order for the watch to keep accurate time. Shorty after, the entire watch is reassembled and we test for water resistance. Most modern watches are water resistant, we test this using specialized equipment. Our quality control process begins after. This means that we will monitor that the watch is keeping time for a sequence of days. Due to this watch being “Manual Wind”, every 24 hours we will fully wind it so that the watch is on time the next day. Just like that Gray and Sons fully restored a Patek Philippe Gondolo.
