Patek Philippe Ellipse d'Or

All models belonging to the Patek Philippe Ellipse d´Or are comprised of a distinctive elliptical shape that is based on the Golden Section. Dating as far back as ancient times, artists have been inspired by the Golden Section and utilised the ratio in order to achieve well-balanced and aesthetically pleasing results in their works. However, the Golden Section is not only practiced in pieces of art. The Golden Section is also applied in mathematics, physics, astrophysics, and biology. It appears everywhere in nature as can be seen in the spiral arrangements of plant leaves and flower structures.

During the Renaissance, the Golden Section was interpreted as the "divine proportion" as it was witnessed in forms of nature and the human body. The human form itself is believed to be based on the Golden Section, as demonstrate by Leonardo da Vinci in "The Vitruvian Man".

The current Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse collection is comprised of two exceptional men's watches that are distinguished by individual design, exceptional quality, and innovative technology. The somewhat smaller Ellipse d´Or men´s watch (Ref. 3738) measures 31.1 × 35.6 mm and is available in three different versions. At the heart of each model beats the caliber 24 – an extremely flat and impressive mechanical movement.

The Ellipse d´Or variants offer the lovers of Patek Philippe timepieces a choice between three individual designs. The Reference 3738/1000G-012 is equipped with a classic sunburst dial in a grey-brown, which is complemented with white gold elements and a brown alligator leather bracelet.

The Reference 3738/100J-012 convinces with a deep blue sunburst dial and is paired with gold indices, an 18K gold dial plate, and a matching shiny blue alligator leather strap. Another Ellipse d´Or model that is worth noting is the Reference 3548. The model, which was produced in many different versions, is no longer in production today and not surprisingly, it is in high-demand on the second-hand market today.

Of the two current Ellipse d´Or models that are available from Patek Philipe today, the larger is the Reference 5738 with dimensions measuring 34.5 × 39.5 mm. It is a dream watch comprised of platinum that impresses with a sharp sunburst dial in blue gold. Additionally, the luxurious timepiece is complimented with indices in 18K white gold, producing a stylish contrast to the deep blue hue of the dial. A highlighting factor also consists of the shiny blue alligator strap, which is fastened with an Ellipse prong buckle in platinum. The timepiece is powered by the Caliber 240, a self-winding movement that incorporates a smaller rotor and, as a result, allows for a thin dial design.
