In 1968, Patek Philippe released the Golden Ellipse.
Debuting eight years before the iconic Nautilus, the Ellipse — with its distinctive oval shape — was unlike anything else in Patek Philippe’s catalogs.
This contemporary example, a Reference 5738P, dates to 2009 and features a solid platinum case with an absolutely stunning sunburst blue dial with applied indices and a matching pencil handset, a dark alligator leather strap with a matching platinum pin buckle, and Patek's automatic-winding Calibre 240 movement within.
Furthermore, this piece remains in absolutely fantastic condition, and is accompanied by all of its factory goods! Examples such as this one are fun and wonderful timepieces, and there's no telling if and when one of these in any condition will surface again, so don't wait!
