5738P-001

The Ellipse case of the 5738P-001 timepiece is situated between the circular and rectangular shapes, with a striking blue gold dial featuring elegant gold hands and floating hour markers. Initially released in 1968, Patek Philippe's golden Ellipse challenged the traditional watch designs. However, instead of following trends, this revolutionary watch captured a sense of inner balance that was visually appealing. Its design was influenced by the "golden section" principle discovered by ancient Greek mathematicians. This divine proportion, represented by a ratio of 1/1.6180, has been the foundation of some of the most iconic works of art and architecture throughout history.
