Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse 5738/1R-001

The Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse reference 5738/1R-001 embodies a particularly refined vision of dressed watchmaking. Inspired by the harmonious proportions of the gold ratio, its elliptical housing in 18 ct rose gold is distinguished by lines of great purity. With its dimensions of 34.5 x 39.5 mm and a thickness of only 5.9 mm, this Golden Ellipse displays a remarkable finesse, sublimated by an integrated rose gold bracelet that gives it the look of a real watch jewel.

Its ebony black dial with a sunburst finish creates a striking contrast with the warm shades of rose gold. Layered on an 18 ct gold plate, it welcomes fine applied stick-style indexes and hair-type needles, also in rose gold. The crown adorned with a black onyx cabochon completes this deliberately minimalist composition. The absence of a date and any apparent complication allows the elegance of the proportions and the richness of the materials to be fully expressed.

One of the most remarkable features of this reference lies in its exclusive rose gold bracelet, inspired by the chain bracelets of the 1970s. Composed of 363 elements, including more than 300 links individually assembled by hand, it offers exceptional flexibility and ends with an engraved folding clasp with three adjustment notches. Inside the housing is the self-winding manufacture 240 calibre, an extra-flat movement only 2.53 mm thick equipped with a 22 ct gold micro-rotor. It offers a minimum power reserve of 48 hours and displays the Patek Philippe Seal.

Dated October 2026, this example is offered in an absolutely new condition, never worn, and accompanied by its complete set including box, certificate of origin and accessories. With its ebony black dial, rose gold case and exceptional link bracelet, the 5738/1R-001 represents a particularly successful interpretation of the Golden Ellipse. A creation where mechanical finesse, jewellery work and timeless elegance come together with remarkable harmony.
