Description
When it first launched in 1968, Patek Philippe’s Golden Ellipse was a bold departure from traditional watch shapes. It features an elliptical case inspired by the principle of the “golden section” discovered by the ancient greek mathematicians, where the “divine” proportion is expressed as a ratio of 1 / 1.6180.
