Patek Philippe Ellipse d’Or: models, prices, waiting lists & history

The current Patek Philippe Ellipse d’Or collection includes two models, both men’s watches. Ladies’ watches in the style of the Ellipse d’Or can only be bought second-hand today. The Ellipse d’Or convinces with its simple aesthetics, its art historical reference as well as its high quality. It is therefore not only an eye-catcher at an art vernissage, but also a fashionable accessory for leisure or work. Due to its clear design, it fits almost every wardrobe. Its trademark: The elliptical case, whose shape moves between a circle and a rectangle. When Patek Philippe launched the Ellipse d’Or in 1968, it was an interesting departure from traditional watch shapes. Its design is an inspiration of the principle “golden section”. This proportion, has formed the basis for some of the greatest works of architecture and art in history.
