Craftsmanship and Heritage
Launched in 1968, the Patek Philippe Ellipse has become an icon of the brand’s innovative design philosophy. The Ellipse series was conceived during a period when watch aesthetics were becoming increasingly expressive and adventurous. The series is celebrated for its distinctive oval shape, inspired by the principle of the "golden section" discovered by ancient Greek mathematicians. This divine proportion, which is believed to yield pleasing and harmonious proportions, guides the unique elliptical design of the watch.

This particular model, crafted in 18KT yellow gold with a 33 mm case diameter, encapsulates elegance with its sunburst blue dial that complements the golden case beautifully. The seamless integration of the bezel, watchband, and hidden folding clasp, all in 18KT gold, enhances the aesthetic continuity and luxury of the watch. The simplicity of the dial, marked by baton indexes and devoid of numerals, emphasizes its sophisticated design ethos.
