The Patek 5135 Gondola

I got this in a trade. A very modern size and it’s growing on me and reminds me of...a FatNinja. What do you guys think? I mean of course with dress watch values in a crapshoot doesn’t hurt to wear and enjoy ya?

Not my first choice. But it’s pretty cool. I bet it’s one that once you have it it really grows on you. Congrats and enjoy that fat ninja!

Looks good. I actually like the Gondola and was contemplating it before purchasing my 5146

Does have that little ding at 7 o'clock that bothers me a bit. It's a 17 year old watch but still works great.

Reminds me of a RM lol

I gotta admit I am a sucker for yellow gold on dress pieces. That's gorgeous :)

Nice watch, if you like that shape. Reminds me of Frank muller. Is this an annual calendar?

I think a 5940 would look better on your wrist for rectangular/cushion shaped cases

It is a large watch and the platinum version was made in relatively small numbers. Probably an underappreciated watch by many.
