When it was launched in 1968, it was hailed as a unique combination of sleek audacity and harmony. The bold elliptical case \u2013 a cross between a circle and a rectangle \u2013 featured a blue-gold dial with a mysteriously deep shimmer. Its balanced proportions were inspired by the \u201cgolden section\u201d (the so-called divine proportion based on the ratio of 1 : 1.6181...). Since it was discovered by mathematicians in ancient Greece, it has been the formula on which numerous architectural and artistic masterpieces have been based. \u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>In the 1970s and 1980s, the Golden Ellipse was vastly successful and established itself not only as a Patek Philippe icon but also as an internationally recognized symbol of style and class. In the late 1970s, the watch was available in 65 different versions. Its unmistakable shape was leveraged in many models of different sizes and in various precious metals. The ellipse was fused with other case shapes, including rectangular and octagonal forms, and even presented in a Nautilus Ellipse version. It came with leather straps or metal bracelets (braided, chained, milanaise), with various dial colors, applied hour markers or Roman numerals, and was also offered in jewelry as well as haute joaillerie versions for ladies. The famous ellipse design was even adopted for luxurious accessories such as cuff links, rings, and lighters. <br \/>\u00a0<br \/>The remarkably thin Golden Ellipse case, originally fitted with a manually wound movement, was first endowed with the legendary ultra-thin caliber 240 in 1977, automatically wound by a minirotor completely integrated in the movement. In 1993, Patek Philippe launched ladies\u2019 models with strap lugs that echoed the case shape as elegant double ellipses. Then, with the Ref. 3738\/100, the manufacture introduced a men\u2019s model in three gold versions with differently colored dials (sunburst blue gold for the yellow-gold case, sunburst charcoal for the white-gold case, and sunburst chocolate brown for the rose-gold case). In 2008, Patek Philippe celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Golden Ellipse with a new version of the jumbo model (34 x 39.5 mm) which for the first time was crafted in platinum and with a sunburst blue gold dial (Ref. 5738P-001). On the occasion of the 50th anniversary, the collection welcomes two new versions of this legendary cult watch. \u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/><strong>Ref. 5738R-001 Golden Ellipse <\/strong><br \/><strong>A jumbo version in rose gold with a black dial \u00a0<\/strong><br \/>\u00a0<br \/>Following the grand-taille model in platinum, launched in 2008 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Golden Ellipse, Patek Philippe is now presenting the iconic design as a new grand-taille version in rose gold (34 x 39.5 mm). The Ref. 5738R-001 pairs the warm glow of the polished precious metal with an ebony black sunburst dial adorned with applied hour markers and delicate cheveu hands in rose gold. It is a dress watch that appeals to aesthetes and connoisseurs alike. A black onyx cabochon set in the winding crown rounds out the harmony of this timepiece. <br \/>\u00a0<br \/>This masterpiece of balance and purity in form is powered by the self-winding caliber 240 movement with an off-center 22K gold minirotor completely recessed in the bridge plane. Accordingly, the case is very slender (height 5.9 mm), which emphasizes its timeless elegance. The watch is fitted with a solid rose-gold back. <br \/>\u00a0<br \/>The refined, style-defining aspect is underscored by a hand-stitched shiny black alligator strap with square scales. Its rose-gold prong buckle echoes the shape of the characteristic case silhouette. As in the other Golden Ellipse models, the strap attachment is discreetly concealed beneath the caseband. Nothing distracts from the famous elliptical shape that celebrates its 50th anniversary. \u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>For men with a penchant for accessories, Patek Philippe created cuff links in rose gold with sunburst ebony black inlays to match the exclusive Golden Ellipse design. \u00a0<br \/><br \/>The new Ref. 5738R-001 in rose gold complements the grand-taille version in platinum with a blue dial.

DESCRIPTION

• Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse
  The 50th anniversary of a cult watch
   
  To celebrate the fiftieth birthday of its enigmatic Golden Ellipse, Patek Philippe enlisted the help of several of its rare handcrafts specialists to create a limited edition series of 100 anniversary sets, each consisting of a platinum watch and matching cuff links. The manufacture also extended its regular collection by a new grand-taille model in rose gold with a black dial. This is a truly fitting homage to a sleek, expressive, and essential design concept.  
   
  After the Calatrava (1932), the Golden Ellipse is the second oldest watch in the Patek Philippe collection. It also exhibits one of the manufacture’s most symbolic designs as a legendary cult model that has survived five centuries of constantly changing fashion trends and signs of the times. When it was launched in 1968, it was hailed as a unique combination of sleek audacity and harmony. The bold elliptical case – a cross between a circle and a rectangle – featured a blue-gold dial with a mysteriously deep shimmer. Its balanced proportions were inspired by the “golden section” (the so-called divine proportion based on the ratio of 1 : 1.6181...). Since it was discovered by mathematicians in ancient Greece, it has been the formula on which numerous architectural and artistic masterpieces have been based.  
   
  In the 1970s and 1980s, the Golden Ellipse was vastly successful and established itself not only as a Patek Philippe icon but also as an internationally recognized symbol of style and class. In the late 1970s, the watch was available in 65 different versions. Its unmistakable shape was leveraged in many models of different sizes and in various precious metals. The ellipse was fused with other case shapes, including rectangular and octagonal forms, and even presented in a Nautilus Ellipse version. It came with leather straps or metal bracelets (braided, chained, milanaise), with various dial colors, applied hour markers or Roman numerals, and was also offered in jewelry as well as haute joaillerie versions for ladies. The famous ellipse design was even adopted for luxurious accessories such as cuff links, rings, and lighters.
   
  The remarkably thin Golden Ellipse case, originally fitted with a manually wound movement, was first endowed with the legendary ultra-thin caliber 240 in 1977, automatically wound by a minirotor completely integrated in the movement. In 1993, Patek Philippe launched ladies’ models with strap lugs that echoed the case shape as elegant double ellipses. Then, with the Ref. 3738/100, the manufacture introduced a men’s model in three gold versions with differently colored dials (sunburst blue gold for the yellow-gold case, sunburst charcoal for the white-gold case, and sunburst chocolate brown for the rose-gold case). In 2008, Patek Philippe celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Golden Ellipse with a new version of the jumbo model (34 x 39.5 mm) which for the first time was crafted in platinum and with a sunburst blue gold dial (Ref. 5738P-001). On the occasion of the 50th anniversary, the collection welcomes two new versions of this legendary cult watch.  
   
  Ref. 5738R-001 Golden Ellipse
  A jumbo version in rose gold with a black dial  
   
  Following the grand-taille model in platinum, launched in 2008 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Golden Ellipse, Patek Philippe is now presenting the iconic design as a new grand-taille version in rose gold (34 x 39.5 mm). The Ref. 5738R-001 pairs the warm glow of the polished precious metal with an ebony black sunburst dial adorned with applied hour markers and delicate cheveu hands in rose gold. It is a dress watch that appeals to aesthetes and connoisseurs alike. A black onyx cabochon set in the winding crown rounds out the harmony of this timepiece.
   
  This masterpiece of balance and purity in form is powered by the self-winding caliber 240 movement with an off-center 22K gold minirotor completely recessed in the bridge plane. Accordingly, the case is very slender (height 5.9 mm), which emphasizes its timeless elegance. The watch is fitted with a solid rose-gold back.
   
  The refined, style-defining aspect is underscored by a hand-stitched shiny black alligator strap with square scales. Its rose-gold prong buckle echoes the shape of the characteristic case silhouette. As in the other Golden Ellipse models, the strap attachment is discreetly concealed beneath the caseband. Nothing distracts from the famous elliptical shape that celebrates its 50th anniversary.  
   
  For men with a penchant for accessories, Patek Philippe created cuff links in rose gold with sunburst ebony black inlays to match the exclusive Golden Ellipse design.  
  
  The new Ref. 5738R-001 in rose gold complements the grand-taille version in platinum with a blue dial. The smaller Ref. 3738/100 in yellow, white, and rose gold has been discontinued.
