The Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse model magnifies its harmony by combining an elegant rose gold chain bracelet with the finesse of a case inspired by the Golden Ratio.

Always faithful to the constant search for innovation and creativity, Patek Philippe pays homage to craftsmanship by reinterpreting the iconic Golden Ellipse model with a chain-style bracelet with a modern, patented construction, which combines elegance and comfort in the new reference 5738/1R.

A unique structure made up of fine rows of links reminiscent of chain-style bracelets in rose gold and with a total of 363 elements, of which more than 300 are assembled one by one by hand.

The result of 15 years of development, this new bracelet is distinguished by its great flexibility, eliminating the technical difficulties of adjusting its length and adaptability.

With this design, the manufacture recalls the aesthetics of the 1970s, a time when the Golden Ellipse was one of the most iconic models, reintroducing and reinventing the "chain" bracelet, and also building a bridge to that golden age of watchmaking design.

An icon of style and great creativity, it contrasts a rose gold case and bracelet with an ebony black "sunburst" dial, on which the fine rose gold indexes and hands stand out, and completes its harmony with a crown set with a black onyx cabochon. Inspired by the famous Golden Number, its harmonious proportions are also reflected in the intersection between the circle and the rectangle of its case.

With harmonious proportions and a fine design, the Golden Ellipse reference 5738/1R is positioned as the thinnest watch in the Patek Philippe collection (5.9 mm). Inside, it houses the extra-thin self-winding calibre 240 with a mini eccentric rotor in 22-carat gold.
