Introduced in 1968, the Ellipse owes its design to no coincidence, since it is based on the golden ratio, considered the “divine proportion” found in nature and in the greatest works of architecture and art. 

Manufactured by dial-maker Singer for Patek Philippe, the dials feature an extremely simple yet striking contrast between the yellow gold hour-markers and hands and the blue dial with its sunray finish.

Throughout the production process, 4 different types of dial were used, and we have written a full article on this subject, which you can discover [here](https://www.41watch.com/fr/blog/revue-historique-de-la-patek-philippe-ellipse-n178)

Our example is fitted with an MK3 dial, recognizable by the domed hour markers and hands and the “Sigma σ” symbols visible on the dial at 6 o'clock. The “Sigma σ” symbol was introduced in the '70s by L'Association pour la Promotion Industrielle de l'Or (or “APRIOR”) to highlight prestigious manufactures, and thus signifies that the indexes are solid gold.

This version of the Ellipse, called “Jumbo”, is equipped with a mechanical self-winding micro-rotor movement, caliber 240, which made its debut in this model, reference 3738, in 1977, nine years after the launch of the collection.

This is the first generation with automatic winding, introducing the legendary 240 micro-rotor caliber. A true horological feat, this Manufacture caliber preserves a case with unrivalled finesse, while providing a power reserve of around 45 hours.

The watch is delivered with a Patek Philippe archive extract.
