- Think of Patek Philippe and you think of watches like the Nautilus, the Calatrava and the perpetual calendar chronograph.
But did you know that the Golden Ellipse is the second oldest watch in the Patek Philippe collection after the Calatrava in 1932? Did you know that Patek make magic happen and created a full 18k blue dial for the Ellipse collection? And what’s the story behind the weird, round little marks, surrounding the "Swiss" on the bottom of the dial?
In todays video we will answer these and other questions and show you that the perfect circle is an ellipse.

The Ellipse…a thing of beauty. A fabulously old fashioned watch for the jet set; when flying was a luxury and not just vulgar public transport. No one needs an Ellipse; but we would all love one.
Couldn’t say it any better, chapeau!
Such a rare piece! Hard to find any other channel covering these, always Nautilus. Great video! Edit: Great history lesson too! I learned a lot!
Much thanks man, we really appreciate your feedback. We also learn more with every new video. Have a great day ✌️
Oh my! That watch has it all.
Elegant, stylish, sleek and masculine.
Who could ask for anything more?
Purity in its design and classicism..perfection.
We couldn’t agree more!
Vintage ellipses will soon become the most desirable PP watches. Trust me, the fashion comes in circles & smaller watches are getting hotter and hotter.
I’ll completely agree with you! The next 50 years will be exciting decades 😈

@@GoldammerVintageWatches one question about the newer 3738 ellipses with brown dial....do you know if those dials are also 18k gold like the blue dials are? i could not find any confident article or information confirming if the brown dial ellipses also have an 18k gold dial
Unfortunately I also have no idea …

Hi Felix, recently I got a pp gondolo ref. 3528 (175 movement) with strap and sigma dial which is rare (I think) , could you kindly consider to make a review for this model so that I can learn more about him? Tks in advance. 🙏🙏
Hi Felix, I am Peter who just asked for an review of pp 3528, may I have yr email address so I can attach my pp photo to you for searching?
Hey 👋 I already made a vid about the Gondolo ( not you’re reference) but I think there’s something to learn :-) czcams.com/video/GGxpFay0Ds8/video.htmlsi=uYFoAl2Rbd43LdoI
@@GoldammerVintageWatches Thx Felix 👍😊
You’re welcome ☺️
Questo si è eleganza
Thanks a lot!
End the quartz ??
Mh?
Can you change the strap on these?
Yes you can :)
I have one with a wider armband for thicker wrists.
If it were not for the label and reputation, this would come across as a nice, understated watch - but not extraordinary. While Patek has undoubtedly come up with beautiful watches, it has produced its fair share of boring ones too. I'm thinking of the entry-level Calatrava watches, for example. Just too damn conservative. I find that where classical styles are concerned, Breguet, F.P. Journe, and Lange offer more consistently interesting alternatives. One reason is that they often incorporate modern, innovative elements, while retaining some of the classical symmetry.
is patek philip good investment?
That depends entirely on the watch ;)
@@GoldammerVintageWatches ty
No problem :)
Not necessarily. I have a 40 year old Patek now worth 3x what I paid. I had a Rolex Sea Dweller I wore daily for 25 years, which sold at Sotheby’s for 10x what I paid. Patek is a much better watch than Rolex, but in general Rolex has the best “brand equity”. Not every watch collector is aware of Patek. ALL watch collectors are aware of Rolex. The Rolex collector base is huge.
Thanks for you thought’s in this topic Eric!
Oddly enough, this watch was a favorite of Donald Trump, which he wore routinely prior to becoming the 45th President of the US.
I didn’t know that, but I think hublot would be a better fit for him ;)
I know Patek dabbled in quartz, with the ellipse to be a result.
So it was nothing new for you :D
Actually Patek didn’t “dabble” in quartz. Patek was a very early pioneer in quartz development, dating back to the 1950’s. Additionally, most ellipse models are mechanical, not quartz. Your comment is a true non sequitur.
@Eric Did not you watch the video ? 🤔😅
