A Design Masterstroke in Watchmaking Geometry

With its distinctive elliptical case inspired by the golden ratio, the Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse stands as a masterclass in horological proportion and restraint. First introduced in 1968, the collection remains one of the brand's most refined and instantly recognizable expressions of mechanical artistry. Today's Golden Ellipse models preserve that visual purity while introducing modern flourishes—such as ultra-thin movements, deep sunburst dials, and integrated gold bracelets—tailored for contemporary collectors who value harmony in design as much as craftsmanship.

The Golden Ratio in Watchmaking: Patek Philippe's Golden Ellipse

Since its debut in 1968, the Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse has stood apart with its elliptical case, designed according to the ancient Golden Ratio. The watch's bold simplicity and mathematical precision make it one of the most distinct dress watches in the Patek Philippe portfolio. Originally conceived as an avant-garde response to the round watch form, the Golden Ellipse continues to inspire both collectors and design purists.
