Notes
Since Patek Philipe introduced Ellipse in 1968, this model has been one of Patek's classic and iconic watches. An elliptical case, between a circle and a rectangle, was inspired by the principle of the “golden section” discovered by the ancient Greek mathematicians. This “divine” proportion, expressed as a ratio of 1 / 1.6181, forms the basis of some of history’s greatest works of art and architecture.
