Ellipse Patek Philippe

Golden Ellipse Collection, the perfect fusion of chic and elegance

In 1968, the mythical Patek Philippe manufacture unveiled a watch with an aesthetic of absolute purity, both retro yet timeless: the Golden Ellipse. An exceptional jewel-watch, this sumptuous piece is now coveted by collectors around the world. From its launch, the Ellipse d'Or watch is distinguished by the shape of its case. Neither completely round nor completely square, the case is the perfect fusion between a circle and a rectangle. An elliptical shape that inspired the manufacture to name the collection. The Ellipse d'Or model also stands out for its blue gold dial, with its mysterious depth, topped by fine indexes and hands. The icing on the cake of refinement: the ratio between the watch case and its length is 1/1.6181, the famous "golden ratio" defining a "divine proportion" discovered in ancient times by a Greek mathematician.

Golden Ellipse: prestigious watches in different variations

The Patek Philipe Golden Ellipse thus, for the first time, allowed the "divine proportion" to fit into a watch case. The success was immediate and seduced all lovers of luxury watches. The collection now offers models with rose gold and platinum cases. These two references (5738P for platinum and 5738R for pink gold) have also reintroduced a large version, already developed by the House in the 1970s and 1980s. The original large-sized Ellipse d'Or is particularly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of the Geneva manufacture.
