Introduced in 1968, The Patek Philippe Ellipse has been a beloved model for seasoned collectors for decades. Its design is based on the 'golden ratio,' celebrated for its pleasing balance and harmony. This mathematical principle, evident in Le Corbusier's architecture and Da Vinci's art, inspired the Ellipse's softly curving case. The timeless series of numbers behind the golden ratio underpins the watch's elegant and harmonious design.
