The Patek Philippe Ellipse combines this mathematical tribute to harmony with a strikingly modern form – an oval shape that is neither quite a circle nor a rectangle. The dial is a beautiful cobalt blue overlaid with yellow gold and the hands and hour markers appear to hover over its delicate depths. When it debuted in 1968, the Patek Philippe Ellipse was a unique combination of classic and contemporary, firmly establishing the watchmaker’s place at the forefront of modern watchmaking.
