Patek Philippe, Golden Ellipse, 18ct White Gold

After the Calatrava, the Golden Ellipse is the second oldest continuous collection in Patek Philippe’s modern catalogue with the first model in the family being launched in 1968. Featuring an elliptical case, between a circle and a rectangle, the Ellipse was influenced in its development by the “golden ratio” sometimes seen in geometric relationships.

This example features the iconic eliptical case manufactured in 18ct white gold. The dial is black with a minimalistic finish - the only details on the dial coming in the form of the Patek Philippe logo. It is fitted to a black Alligator leather strap with a hidden attachment to the case and 18ct white gold pin buckle. Powering the watch is the automatic cal. 28-255.

The watch comes with a Patek Philippe box and a letter from the manufacturer estimating that the watch dates to 1975-1980. Please note this is not an Extract from the Archive.

Understanding Age & Condition

Our showrooms offer comprehensive selection of pre-owned watches including timepieces which have been discontinued, were of limited production or are now considered vintage.

Each watch within our collection is carefully and thoroughly inspected, refurbished and serviced, where required, by one of our in-house watchmakers to ensure its original lustre is restored to the best of our ability. In each of our pre-owned watch listings we offer an accurate representation of the watches’ condition and our showrooms are always more than happy to provide further photographs or assist with any enquiry you may have.

Understanding Authenticity

A high percentage of our pre-owned watch collection were originally purchased from Prestons. Our clients often utilise our part-exchange or buy-in services as the ideal opportunity to upgrade or sell their timepiece. This means that in many instances we know a watches’ history when it becomes part of our pre-owned collection.

Those wristwatches that were not purchased from us, have their status and provenance checked and authenticated by our in-house watchmakers. This thorough process means that those timepieces which are not accompanied by their original box and documentation, are offered with our confidence and trust as well as our own thirty-six-month guarantee.
