''AN ELLIPTICAL CASE, BETWEEN A CIRCLE AND A RECTANGLE''
The Patek Philippe Ellipse 3738 is a masterpiece in minimalist elegance, standing apart from traditional watch shapes with its iconic elliptical case — a design inspired by the golden ratio. First introduced in the 1960s, the Ellipse line was created to be different: refined, understated, and perfectly balanced. The reference 3738, introduced later as a slightly larger version, maintains all the key characteristics that make the Ellipse so timeless, while offering a more contemporary wrist presence.
Crafted in 18k gold, the case has a beautiful shape that hugs the wrist comfortably. At just under 6mm thick, the watch wears incredibly slim, easily sliding under any cuff. The sunburst blue dial — a signature of the Ellipse — captures the light beautifully, constantly shifting in tone depending on the angle. Slim baton hour markers and delicate hands preserve the purity of the design, leaving no room for unnecessary clutter. This specific watch is in so-called ''MINT'' condition with little to no signs of wear.
Powering the 3738 is Patek Philippe’s ultra-thin Caliber 240, a self-winding movement with a micro-rotor — a technical achievement in itself. This movement not only keeps the watch remarkably thin but also offers reliable, precise timekeeping with the finishing quality you'd expect from Patek.
With its elegant proportions, iconic design, and mechanical sophistication, the Ellipse 3738 is not just a watch — it's a statement of quiet confidence and refined taste. It’s for those who don’t need to shout to stand out.
