The Patek Philippe Gondolo watches collection has always occupied a slightly different corner of the Swiss watchmaker's universe. While the Nautilus and Aquanaut are instantly recognisable for their sporty silhouettes, the Gondolo has remained the more elegant, Art Deco-inspired alternative, defined by the rectangular and cushion-shaped cases. For 2026, Patek Philippe has introduced six new Gondolo Ladies First watches, giving the Art Deco-inspired collection a colourful new expression through opaline dials, diamond-set details and vivid gemstones. The new collection comprises six references, combining white gold, rose gold and white-and-rose-gold cases with opaline dials, diamond-set details and colourful gemstones. All 5 of these Patek Philippe Gondolo Ladies First watches 2026 measure 31 x 34.8mm and are powered by the E15 quartz movement.
The most understated of the new Gondolo Ladies First watches is the Patek Philippe Gondolo Ladies First Ref. 7043G-001, which pairs a polished white-gold cushion-shaped case with a blue-grey opaline dial embossed with concentric waves. A diamond-set flange adds 108 diamonds, while the blue-grey calfskin strap has a denim-inspired pattern and contrasting white stitching. The watch measures 31 x 34.8mm and is powered by the E15 quartz calibre.
For a warmer take on the design, Patek Philippe Gondolo Ladies First Ref. 7043R-001 swaps white gold for rose gold. Its chestnut-toned opaline dial features the same concentric-wave pattern, while the matching chestnut calfskin strap gives the watch a distinctly autumnal palette. The diamond-set flange contains 108 diamonds totalling 0.41 carats.
The Patek Philippe Gondolo Ladies First Ref. 7043GR-001 is perhaps the most sophisticated of the three simpler versions. It combines a white-gold case with a rose-gold crown and detailing, paired with a silvery opaline dial and beige calfskin strap. The contrast between the two gold tones keeps the Art Deco silhouette contemporary rather than overly traditional. Like the other standard Gondolo Ladies First models, it measures 31 x 34.8mm and features 108 diamonds on the flange.
Things get considerably more extravagant with Patek Philippe Gondolo Ladies First Joaillerie Ref. 7043/250G-001. The white-gold case and dial are covered in diamonds, while blue topaz hour markers and a peacock-blue alligator strap inject a vivid hit of colour. In total, the Joaillerie version carries 687 brilliant-cut diamonds weighing 3.11 carats, alongside 12 trapeze-cut blue topazes.
The rose-gold counterpart is arguably the most colourful of the new Gondolo line-up. Patek Philippe Gondolo Ladies First Joaillerie Ref. 7043/250R-001 features a diamond-set rose-gold case and dial, accented by 12 green tsavorite hour markers and a matching green alligator strap. As with the blue-topaz version, the watch is set with 687 diamonds totalling 3.11 carats, with the additional 12 tsavorites weighing 0.22 carat.
With the new Patek Philippe Gondolo Ladies First watches , the watchmaker has taken one of its most distinctly Art Deco designs and given it a decidedly contemporary wardrobe.
