The rose gold execution of this cushion-cased Gondolo changes what the Akoya pearls do. Against white gold the pearls read as a cool continuation of the diamonds; against rose gold they warm and separate, and the geometry of the setting becomes easier to read. Patek Philippe keeps the sapphire case-back on both versions, which is uncommon on a watch this heavily set — the movement stays visible rather than being treated as an afterthought behind the jewellery.

The rose gold case measures 31 mm in the Art Deco cushion shape. Diamonds in mixed cuts surround Akoya pearls, and the dial is paved with rose gold trapeze-style hour markers set to match. A manually wound movement is displayed through the transparent case-back, and the watch is completed by a rose gold bracelet. The cushion shape is one of the oldest in the Gondolo line, and it gives the setting a frame that a round case would not.
