Chronometro Gondolo, unique and historical highly important!

This is the only Patek Philippe Chronometro Gondolo with a square case and central seconds. This example is in sublime condition.

But it is even more special and historical important than this: when taking a closer look at the “SWISS” signature, you can see that it is flanked by 2 “T” letters! In this case it is not for tritium! But, the master engraver at Cadran Stern, back in the days, name was Maurice Thiévent and those 2 “T” letters do stand for his family name. Not only that Mr. Thiévent was the master engraver but the more he was as well the mentor of Henri Stern! Due to Mr. Thiévent we do have today all those amazing Patek Philippe timepieces with the hand-engraved dials!

This Chronometro Gondolo represents so much history of Patek Philippe and is a timepiece of museum quality!
