PATEK PHILIPPE YELLOW GOLD SELF-WINDING ELLIPSE

The Patek Philippe Ellipse was ‘born’ in 1968 and has been a celebrated icon of Patek Philippe ever since. Its design is inspired by the Golden Section, the ‘divine’ proportion of the ratio 1 to 1.6181 which is the founding design principle seen in art, architecture and nature. The first examples of the famed ref. 3738 were launched in 1978. It was not until 1984 that we see the first (and more familiar) ref. 3738/100J. This example features a white dial with Roman numerals.
