Okay, so I’ve been eyeing the Patek Philippe Gondolo 7042/100R-010 for a while now. I mean, who wouldn’t be? It’s a stunner. But let’s be real, the price tag is, uh, substantial. So, I decided to see if I could get it for a bit less, you know, do a little deal hunting.
First thing I did was hit up Chrono24. Seemed like a good place to start. I found a bunch of listings for the 7042/100R-010, all in that rose gold I wanted. The prices were all over the place, some were around S$304,876, others closer to S$354,463. Yeah, still a hefty chunk of change. I wanted to buy it, so I started comparing those deals. Look, I even saw some marked as “new” from 2024. Pretty tempting.
Then, I did some more digging. Found out that the Gondolo line is where Patek Philippe puts all their fancy-shaped watches. The 7042/100R-010 has this cool rectangular case, and it’s all decked out in diamonds. No numerals on the dial, just pure bling. And it’s a manual wind, which, I don’t know, feels kind of classy, right?
I kept searching, hoping to find that one listing that was just right. I looked at listings from all over the world because I have to get it for the best price. The rose gold case and bracelet were a must-have for me. They just looked so good together.
After a few days of practically living on these watch sites, I finally found it! A seller with a price that was a bit easier on the wallet. Still a splurge, obviously, but hey, it’s a Patek Philippe. We are not talking about your average watch here, it is a real piece of art and the rose gold is great. I contacted the seller, asked a few questions to make sure everything was legit, and then, I took the plunge. I bought it!
Now I’m just waiting for it to arrive. I can’t wait to see it in person and finally add it to my collection. Let me tell you, that’s a good feeling. And the best feeling is I got it for a great price!
