Gondolo & Labouriau of Rio de Janiero represented Patek Philippe since 1872 and it was from 1902 to the late 1930s that Patek made watches specifically for their trusted Brazilian retailer . It is thought that the retailer sold a third of the Patek Philippe production at the time . The present watch is fitted with a very unusual feature where it displays the full 24 hours . Accompanied with its original invoice and fitted presentation box , the watch has been preserved in very original and appealing condition .
