Patek Philippe 3733/1J Onyx Dial Integrated Ribbed Bracelet 18k YG
Famed for their incredible array of dress watches, Patek Philippe often wows their collectors with some of the most luxurious and best-constructed timepieces that money can buy. Due to their iconic sports watches and immaculate complicated offerings attracting the most attention these days, their understated vintage offerings have gone relatively under the radar. Perhaps a perfect example of this is the Patek Philippe Gondolo ref. 3733 that we have here. Hailing from the 1970s, the ref. 3733 features an incredibly unique 29mm x 33mm 18kt yellow gold case with a horizontal ribbed detailing that covers its complete construction across its case and integrated bracelet, creating a seamless transition from one to the other. Boasting a jet black onyx stone dial that serves to highlight its unique construction, the ref. 3733’s display and construction work is perfect harmony to showcase Patek Philippe’s incredible skill and craftsmanship. Powered by a manual-wind cal. 215, the ref. 3733 brings to life the genuine vintage look and feel that so many modern timepieces have tried to emulate thanks to the simple fact that it hails from the period from which today’s designers are drawing their inspiration as they chase the sense of horological delight that timepieces like the ref. 3733 radiate in abundance.
THE DIAL Fitted with a stone dial made of onyx, this example's pitch-black display serves to highlight the incredibly unique construction it is fit within.
THE CONSTRUCTION Offered in a much larger construction than was typical in its style of watch for the time, the ref. 3733's unique horizontal ribbed details add to its already-impressive wrist presence to create a truly one-of-a-kind watch.
