PATEK PHILIPPE WHITE GOLD ELLIPSE REF. 5028G

Savvy collectors are already chasing the most compelling and rare examples from the elegant and storied Golden Ellipse line. At the top of that list sits the enigmatic and instantly recognizable ref. 5028G. Produced exclusively in white gold between 1997 and 2003, this standout Ellipse reference was made in fewer than 500 examples, making it one of the rarest modern interpretations of the collection. Sharing the same DNA as its Calatrava cousin, the Ref. 5000G, it features the ultra-thin, micro-rotor caliber 240 and an off-centered small seconds sub dial at 4 o’clock—an unexpected and charming design twist. Larger than most Ellipses, the ref. 5028G ranks among the largest ever produced, alongside the ref. 5738 and ref. 3605, giving it substantial wrist presence without losing the sleek sophistication that defines the line. For collectors in the know, the ref. 5028G is a hidden gem—uncommon, elegant, and quietly powerful.
