Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse Watches

"Our unending quest for perfection has led again and again to radical departures from established practice. The Golden Ellipse collection captures the transformation of a bold initiative into a world classic by marrying modern techniques with ancient principles. The Golden Ellipse, with its smooth elliptical shape and dial finished in shimmering blue is arguably one of our most distinctive signature timepieces. Its design, originally introduced in 1968, is based on the Golden Section principle of classical architecture - this theory of divine proportions is 2000 years old, and has never been equaled in its grace and harmony. Building on these foundations, in 1993, we introduced a new design for Golden Ellipse ladies' watches, extending the theme into golden loops that hold the leather strap and move to fit the wrist." - Patek Philippe
