Patek 5135 Gondolo Calendario

Do any members own this watch or have any first hand experience with one? I may have an opportunity to acquire one, but don't know much about it.

Looks nice.

Seems like something you would know the second you strapped it on.

It is part of an estate sale, not had a chance to see it in person yet.

That tonneau style case was never for me but some guys like it a lot. I do like the dial, I like the Annual Calendar and I like the moonphase. Very good looking watch.

Absolutely love the 5135 and it has been on my radar for sometime.
Just curious, how much is the estate sale offering it for? I've always wondered how one gets info on estate sales

Listed at $20k - they don't know what they have. It is listed as a Philip watch.

The bidding will be interesting.

Holy crap! Steal it...and worst case you can flip it and make at least 50%.
I myself would buy and keep.

I saw one in Florida this past week and it is a beautiful watch - loved it. It's a larger sized Patek.
