Gondolo 30mm

How it wears

Wears larger than its 30 mm case suggests

Patek Philippe Gondolo 30mm measures 38 mm lug-to-lug on a 30 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.27 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 94% of the 7,421 watches in this database and shorter than 90% of the 79 Patek Philippe watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 43 mm (1.69 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 51 mm (2.01 in) it starts to look compact. Below 38 mm (1.50 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.

At 6.5 mm thick it is on the slim side, thinner than 99% of the watches with a listed thickness.
