Encased in 18k rose gold, the Gondolo 5111R-001 operates on a manual winding mechanical movement built for long term reliability. Its rectangular case follows classic Gondolo proportions, offering a refined wrist presence enhanced by polished finishing. The dial is deliberately uncluttered, with applied markers and a balanced layout that prioritizes elegance over complication. A sapphire crystal protects the dial while maintaining visual sharpness.

There is a distinct emotional quality to this reference. The warmth of rose gold introduces depth and character, transforming a minimalist watch into something more expressive. It appeals to collectors who value traditional craftsmanship but want a stronger visual identity compared to more neutral metal variations.

Alternative References & Configuration

The 5111 family comprises several distinct precious-metal references rather than merely different dial codes:

* 5111J-001 — 18K yellow gold
* 5111G-001 — 18K white gold
* 5111R-001 — 18K rose gold
* 5111PR-001 — platinum and rose-gold configuration

The 5111R-001 is therefore specifically the rose-gold reference and should not be merged with the yellow- or white-gold references. Sotheby’s records the 5111R as an 18K pink-gold watch with a silvered dial and Calibre 215 manual-winding movement, while Antiquorum independently records a 5111R-001 with an 18K pink-gold case, Calibre 215 PS AIG.2 and 18 jewels.

Dial Variations

For the 5111R-001, the strongest reference-specific evidence supports the silver/silvered dial configuration. Multiple independent records describe the same arrangement: silver dial, raised rose-gold markers, Arabic numeral at 12, rose-gold hands and recessed small seconds at 6 o’clock.

Reference distinction: The 5111R-001 is the 18K rose-gold Gondolo with Calibre 215 PS and small seconds, distinguished by its elongated rectangular Art Deco case and silver/silvered dial configuration. Sotheby’s records the reference as a circa-2007 pink-gold manual-wind wristwatch and notes that the 5111 was introduced in 2004 and produced for approximately three years.
