Catalogue Essay
Launched in 1968, the original Golden Ellipse design was influenced by the so-called “golden section” discovered by ancient Greek mathematicians and whose “divine” proportions inspired numerous artistic and architectural masterpieces throughout the centuries. By the late 70s, the Golden Ellipse collection encompassed more than 60 different references, from large masculine watches to high-jewelry ladies’ pieces. The Ellipse is now the second oldest model in Patek Philippe’s collection still in production after the Calatrava.
Its elliptical case, between a circle and a rectangle was a bold departure from traditional watch shapes and still stands out today for its quirky yet elegant shape.
The present reference 5738P is a proud heir of the original Golden Ellipse keeping with its signature shape, blue gold dial and even vintage style buckle but in more contemporary dimensions.
Offered in almost unworn condition with its full set of accessories the present Golden Ellipse is sure to please the dandy gentleman
