Watches And Wonders 2024: The Legendary Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse Marks A Revival With A Chain Bracelet Pairing

A dainty precious metal elliptical case is a classical Patek Philippe exclusive. As an endearing symbol of the Maison’s jewelry-style timepieces, Patek Philippe revives the tradition with the first-ever metal bracelet for the large-sized Golden Ellipse at Watches and Wonders 2024. The rose gold timepiece with the reference 5738/1R gets a matching chain-style bracelet serving a delectable revisit to the pinnacle mid-century style.

A Chain Bracelet Revival of an Icon

The affinity for designer timepieces is supreme within the collector circles. Shaped cases have always been popular and the Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse retains the authentic charms of the 1968 debut aesthetic for the Manufacture. The result of a 15-year development phase, the chain-style bracelet comprising 363 elements gives the slender case a tailor-fit pairing, carving an irresistible infatuation among gentlemen and lady collectors.

The rose gold case measuring 5.9 mm in thickness features an ebony-black sunburst dial on which slender applied hour markers and hands serve a glorious charm. The two-handed aesthetic is exceptionally minimalist and uncluttered, summing up a remarkable design exercise practiced at Patek Philippe. The ultra-slim timepiece is an artisanal masterpiece and a true design icon worthy of celeb-charms.

Patek Philippe’s Nod to The Past

Without cutting any corners, Patek Philippe chose fit to equip the timepiece with its caliber 240 ultra-thin self-winding movement making it the slimmest regular collection timepiece for the brand. This Watches and Wonders 2024 release is inspired by the designer-grail golden ratio architecture and serves as a reminder that Patek Philippe does honor its heritage with contemporary releases.
