PRICES UPON REQUEST

In between a circle and a rectangle is an elliptical case. Gold hour markers and hands float over the depths of a blue gold dial. Patek Philippe's Golden Ellipse was a daring break from conventional watch shapes when it debuted in 1968. However, this avant-garde watch had an inner harmony that was aesthetically pleasing rather than giving in to fashion. The "golden section" principle, which the ancient Greek mathematicians discovered, served as the inspiration for its design. Some of the greatest pieces of art and architecture in history are based on this "divine" proportion, which is represented by the ratio 1 / 1.6180.
