Patek Philippe Ellipse

In 1968, Patek Philippe released the Golden Ellipse. Debuting eight years before the iconic Nautilus, the Ellipse—with its distinctive oval shape—was unlike anything else in Patek Philippe’s catalogs. This particular example dates to circa the 1970s and features a solid 18k white gold case with a signed crown, a lovely sunburst blue sigma dial with applied white gold baton indices and a matching pencil handset, and Patek's manual-winding Calibre 23-300 movement inside. Remaining in outstanding condition overall, this piece also comes with its box, Certificate of Origin from Patek, and serialized hangtag. Watches such as this one are fun and wonderful timepieces, and there's no telling if and when one of these in any condition will surface again, so don't wait!
