Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse Returns

Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse Returns

Patek Philippe is reinterpreting its iconic Golden Ellipse wristwatch by endowing it with an exclusive brand-new bracelet whose modern patented construction unites comfort with elegance. 

The large-sized Golden Ellipse Reference 5738 welcomes its first metal bracelet. Composed of links set in fine rows reminiscent of chain bracelets, this supple, elegant chain-style bracelet in rose gold – with an engraved clasp pays a fine tribute to the 1970s, during which the Golden Ellipse watch played a starring role.

The sunburst ebony black dial is enhanced by applied baton-type hour-markers and slim cheveu-type hands in rose gold. This timeless, uncluttered aesthetic perfectly sums up the spirit of the Golden Ellipse.

The harmoniously proportioned case inspired by the famous Golden Ratio houses ultra-thin self-winding 240 caliber.
