Dial case and movement signed, in very good condition
NOTE: In the year 1872, Patek Philippe delivered a silver pocket watch to the Brazilian firm of Gondolo & Labouriau. Thus began a collaboration between the two firms that would last until 1927. In 1902, the owners of the Rio de Janeiro based Gondolo & Labouriau (Carlos Gondolo & Paulo Labouriau) commissioned Patek Philippe to create a watch exclusively for their firm. The result was a very high quality calibre called “Chronometro Gondolo.”
