Patek Philippe Ellipse Owner Review : Discreet, divine and addictive

Discreet luxury. A distinctive and singular design like that of the Ellipse, launched in 1968 with the reference 3548. Designed according to the formula of the golden ratio, or divine proportion, a geometric concept found in nature or architecture. Symbol of beauty and harmony. The reference presented here is the 3738 called jumbo (35mm) introduced in 1977 in the Patek catalog. This is the first generation with automatic winding introducing the legendary caliber 240 with micro-rotor which allows the elliptical case to retain all its finesse. Tempted at first by the classic yellow gold model, the encounter with this extremely rare white gold Ellipse made me take the plunge. The white gold makes it more modern and more discreet. A marvel of elegance, sobriety and refinement. Special mention to its sunburst blue gold dial, Patek secret, which opens a door to the sky and also to the elliptical buckle of the bracelet. A watch with a unique shape. A jewel.
