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. 

Historically manufactured by the Singer dial-maker for Patek Philippe, the dials feature an extremely simple yet striking contrast between the rose gold hour-markers and hands and the black dial with its soleillée finish.

One of the oldest Ellipse references in terms of production is ref. 3738, which was produced from 1978 to around 2009. During its four decades of production, 4 different types of dial were produced, and we have written a full article on this subject, which you can discover [here](https://www.41watch.com/en/journal/historical-reviews-of-iconic-watches/technical-review-of-the-patek-philippe-ellipse)

Today, the only Ellipse in production is ref. 5738, which was introduced in 2008 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Ellipse. At the time, it was made in platinum and featured the classic blue gold dial. For the 50th anniversary in 2018, ref. 5738 was released in 18-carat rose gold with a black sunray dial like the model we present here.

The model is still equipped with the legendary 240 micro-rotor caliber. A true horological feat, this manufacture caliber enables the case to be kept with unrivalled finesse, while providing a power reserve of around 45 hours.

The watch is delivered full set with its box, outer-box, certificate of origin and manuals.
