The Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse sits on a different plane, somewhere between a circle and a rectangle. Although simple in design, its adherence to the ‘Golden Ratio’ gives the Ellipse a pleasing harmony. The Golden Ellipse was introduced in 1968 and signaled a departure from the traditional shapes in watchmaking. The Ellipse also dispensed with the traditional extended lugs found on other watches, only allowing the end of the strap to briefly interrupt the smooth lines of the case.

As it would be such a loss to sell those two watches separately, we decided to sell them exactly as we bought it. As one set. The set was bought in the mid ‘70s and both watches are carrying the reference number 3730. We saw a ‘Onyx’ dial Ellipse appearing on the market a few times over the last years but this the first time that we come across the usage of Lapis Lazuli in a reference 3730.

Both stone dials are in flawless conditions like the watches itself. They both come on matching alligator straps and are just serviced by Patek Philippe.
