Details
An Answer To The Golden Ratio
In the 1970s, the Patek Philippe Ellipse was a groundbreaking design, a watch celebrated for its perfect proportions based on the golden ratio. Chopard, a respected jeweler and watchmaker in its own right, offered its own interpretation of the form. This reference 2152 is a direct product of that era, a confident and elegant design that adopted the popular elliptical case shape. Because it competed against an icon, few were sold, making it a genuinely rare find today. It represents a fascinating moment in watch design history when even established brands responded to a single, powerful idea.
A Study In Seventies Texture
This watch is a complete expression of 1970s luxury. The entire piece, from the case to the integrated bracelet, is crafted from solid 18K yellow gold. Its matte grey dial provides a subtle, sophisticated contrast to the warmth of the gold, a combination that feels both understated and deliberate. The integrated bracelet is a design hallmark of the period, creating a seamless and sculptural line on the wrist. It is a watch that is not just a time-telling instrument, but a piece of jewelry that fully captures the aesthetic of its time.
A Well Preserved Example
This example is in very good condition. The 18K yellow gold case appears unpolished, remaining sharp and showing honest wear consistent with a watch from this period. The integrated bracelet is in similar condition. The matte grey dial is clean and well-preserved. Notably, the watch still retains its original caseback sticker, a small detail that points to a life of careful ownership. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
For The Contrarian Collector
This Chopard Ellipse is for someone who appreciates the iconic designs of the 1970s but prefers to own something less common. It has the visual presence of its more famous competitor but with a story and rarity all its own. The watch is a conversation piece, a nod to a specific moment in horological history that rewards the collector who looks beyond the obvious choices. It is a confident and stylish piece that works because of its quality, design, and scarcity.
