Patek Philippe Ellipse Two-Watch Set, Limited Series Of 100 Pieces

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of its remarkable Golden Ellipse timepiece, prestigious Swiss watchmaker Patek Philippe has introduced a spectacular thematic presentation set.

Encased within a luxurious case crafted from polished exotic hardwood, polished metal fittings, and soft leathers are two Golden Ellipse watches, both realized in platinum.  The larger model, Ref. 5738P, measures 34.5 x 39.5mm in diameter, while the Ref. 3738/100P retains the classic Golden Ellipse dimensions of 31.1 x 35.6mm.  Both timepieces display a brilliant "Blue Gold" 18K dial that presents a striking soleil finish.  Ticking beneath the platinum casebacks is the manufacture Patek Philippe 240 caliber.  This slender self-winding movement, which has earned the Geneva Seal hallmark for its adherence to the established guidelines of Genevoise haute horlogerie, features a freely-sprung Gyromax balance and a 22-karat gold micro-rotor; the balance completes 21,600 semi-oscillations each hour, and power reserve is 48 hours.  

In addition to the platinum Ellipse watches, Patek Philippe's anniversary set includes elegant white gold cuff links, whose shape--like the watch itself--expresses the harmonious proportions of the famous "Golden Ratio".  Beneath the main compartment for the watches and cuff links, a slide-out drawer holds a round-link Ellipse necklace with a diamond-set pendant.

Patek Philippe will produce just 100 examples of its Ellipse two-watch set.  The timepieces both feature sapphire crystals, and have a water resistance rating of 30 meters.
