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 signalled 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.This ref. 3598 dates back to the early 1990s and is a smaller execution of the Ellipse. The 18k yellow-gold case measures a classic 27 x 32 mm and with the inclusion of the ultra-thin caliber 215 manual winding movement the watch retains an elegant thin profile.The watch features a beautiful deep blue sunburst dial with applied 18k yellow-gold pointed stick indices and matching 18k yellow-gold stick hands. The watch comes on a luxurious black alligator leather strap.
