Patek Philippe

Golden Ellipse Watches

Patek Philippe is a celebrated watchmaking brand that has gained a reputation all over the world. Today, Patek Philippe has a big catalog of different complications. The vintage ones in the long-running watch series include Nautilus, Calatrava, Chronograph, Golden Ellipse, and Nautilus. We are going to talk about the watch collection, Golden Ellipse.

The universality of the Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse watches has attracted several consumers. The timeless, gender-neutral design of these watches proves the diverse skills of watchmakers.

Moreover, the Patek Golden Ellipse has become a highly significant collection, as the company has made a shift in its manufacturing trends. Like several other watchmakers, Patek had employed case makers to suggest designs. However, the origin of the Golden Ellipse was slightly different. Patek has created the watch designs internally to reflect uniqueness.

In 1839, a Polish cavalryman, Antoine Norbert de Patek, set up a small watch factory while partnering with François Czapek. The partnership lasted for 6 years, and then Patek started searching for another watchmaker.

Ultimately, he found Jean Adrien Philippe, who proved his skills of inventing a pocket watch with a winding key. Patek invited him to work for his company in Geneva. In due course, the company was named Patek Philippe. In the 12th century, two rich Americans, James Packard and Henry Graves took part in a contest to own the most complicated timepiece in the world.

There is a blurred line between convention and elegance. A timepiece has become understated and boring. Patek Philippe has taken the challenge of adding innovation to minimalism. To win the challenge, the Genevan watchmaking brand released the collection - Golden Ellipse. In the Golden Ellipse collection, the term - golden indicates the precious metal case.

The watchmakers got inspiration from the Golden Ratio - the mathematical concept used in ancient Greek architecture, like the Pyramids of Giza.

The Golden Ellipse has transformed the typical shape and design of a dress watch. Thus, the iconic PP watch collection did not stick to the conventional boundary. Patek has tried to create an uncharted territory on their own.

Patek Golden Ellipse had more than 65 different versions. Thus, it is easy to find one, which suits your tastes. Some models are based on the Nautilus version. Dial colors of a few models are unique. Patek has paid attention to detailed craftsmanship, and that is why the watches deliver timeless quality.

Over 50 years ago, when Patek released the ovular case shape for the Ellipse collection, it was uncommon in the market. That is why the watch models have historically significant designs and have gained popularity within the shortest time. However, another important horological milestone is the Caliber 240. The technology behind the movement was already used by quartz timepieces.

The Golden Ellipse collection mainly comprises watches of the elliptical case design- a shape between a rectangle and a circle. First launched in 1968, Golden Ellipse timepieces have a bold deviation from conventional watches. Most watches in the collection have a classic blend with a contemporary design. They are truly visually aesthetic. Besides, the high-end watches are available in a range of vibrant colors of dials. Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse has avoided using the seconds' hands and numerals to create a natural look. The Golden Ellipse collection has 2 versions, and the smaller ones are intended for women.

Patek Philippe has tried to make the Golden Ellipse different from the Calatrava watch collection. In fact, the Golden Ellipse watches reflect the artistic side and uniqueness of the Patek Philippe lineage. This watch collection has incorporated a natural pattern while unlocking something unconventional in the designs.

In 2008, PP Golden Ellipse celebrated its 40th anniversary, and the series has introduced platinum watches. It has also epitomized minimalism and elegance in style. However, the watches have used the best technologies in the industry. The major feature highlighted in the timepieces is their plain dials. There are no numerals and second hands, as we have already said. The dials have the lines as the only embellishments. Plus, these lines act as time markers and indices. The bright colors of the dials have added depth. Besides, the patterns have elliptical shapes, and the outward angles look different.

Furthermore, the sleek designs of the watch can beautify your wristlets. Patek Philippe has maintained an asymmetrical form. The dial colors are of 3 types, brown-grey, brown, and blue.
