Extraordinary, superb, and never seen before, this Patek Philippe Ellipse d’Or/Golden Ellipse from the 1970s is one of our greatest finds to date.
Preserved in excellent condition and just back from the expert hands of the watchmakers and polishers of Patek Philippe in Geneva, this watch exudes a unique and timeless charm.
The blue sunburst/radiant solid gold dial contrasts wonderfully with the white of the case and bracelet, and its indexes, alternating batons and Roman numerals, are hand-engraved. At 6 o’clock, it features two “σ” symbols (Sigma APRIOR) denoting the use of gold for the dial and Dauphine hands.
The large gadrooned case, in 18-carat white gold, comes from the prestigious Favre-Perret workshops in La Chaux-de-Fonds.
It contains the legendary Patek Philippe caliber 28-255 with automatic winding – the same one used for the reference 3700, the first Nautilus.
The integrated white gold bracelet, of exemplary manufacturing quality, features a unique hammered pattern, whose matte appearance matches the shine of the case.
An exceptional Ellipse.

READ MORE ABOUT THE MODEL

The Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse

The Ellipse is a symbol of luxury and elegance.

Launched in 1968, the Patek Philippe Ellipse d’Or/Golden Ellipse collection is a remarkable fusion of simplicity and sophistication. Inspired by the principles of divine proportion, also known as the golden ratio, this series demonstrates how sleek design can transcend time while retaining timeless elegance and unique aesthetic harmony. The elliptical shape of the watch, which lends its name to the collection, is directly inspired by this ideal mathematical proportion, reputed to represent perfect balance and beauty in nature and the arts. The distinctive Ellipses case, neither completely round nor completely rectangular, offers a refined alternative to traditional watch shapes.

Over the years, the Ellipse collection has undergone many variations – in terms of size, dial colours and complications – but all have retained the integrity of the original design. The dials, in sober tones such as deep blue, black and champagne, are marked by their simplicity, with discreet hour-markers and complemented by pared-down hands that underline the watch’s intrinsic elegance.

The collection not only set a new standard in watch design but also proved Patek Philippe’s ability to innovate without detaching itself from its heritage. Each piece in the Ellipse collection is the result of meticulous craftsmanship, reflecting the brand’s commitment to excellence and understated luxury.

Today, the Ellipse remains one of the brand’s most distinctive collections, admired for its unique design and timeless elegance. It symbolises luxury that never goes out of fashion, and continues to attract collectors and watch lovers who appreciate its finesse and exceptional design. At Watches & Wonders in April 2024, Patek Philippe even announced the reintroduction of an Ellipse model with an integrated bracelet in rose gold.
