Details
A Subversion Of The Golden Ratio
The Patek Philippe Ellipse is an icon of design, its case shape derived from the classical golden ratio. The reference 3545/1 takes this a step further by rotating the famous geometry 90 degrees, creating a "landscape" profile that is wider than it is tall. This horizontal orientation gives the watch a completely different presence on the wrist, a confident statement that is distinctly from its era. Rendered entirely in 18k white gold and paired with a deep blue sunburst dial, this piece is a pure and unconventional expression of 1980s luxury.
Engineered As A Single Sculpture
This is a watch conceived as a continuous piece of 18k white gold. The case flows seamlessly into the integrated bracelet, a style of construction that was a hallmark of high-level watchmaking in the period. The bracelet itself is a feat of craftsmanship, designed to feel like a substantial piece of jewelry while maintaining a sleek profile. It is a bold and attractive execution that makes a definitive statement, a piece that is as much a part of a curated wardrobe as it is a serious piece of horology.
An Honest And Attractive Example
The overall condition of this Ellipse is very good. The integrated 18k white gold bracelet is in excellent shape, showing great structure and integrity. The case is in good condition, and the blue sunburst dial is attractive, with added character from slight chipping near the hour markers. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.
The Ritual Of Winding
This landscape Ellipse is for someone who appreciates the bold designs of the 1980s. It's a dress watch that doesn't feel delicate. Winding the manual movement each day creates a bond with the machine, a small ritual that connects the owner to a long history of traditional watchmaking. The horizontal case and integrated bracelet make for a watch that feels both classic and entirely unique on the wrist.
