Overview
The Golden Ellipse in the medium size
The Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse, reference 3738/100G-014, in white gold in the medium size, sunburst olive green dial with white gold baton markers and cheveu-style hands, on a shiny olive green calfskin strap with cream stitching. Ultra-thin self-winding calibre 240 with a 22K gold minirotor, hours and minutes; 31.1 × 35.6 mm, 5.9 mm high.
The reference 3738/100G-014 is the Golden Ellipse in its medium size: an elliptical white gold case 31.1 × 35.6 mm, with proportions the brand draws from the golden section, 5.9 mm high, which Patek Philippe calls the thinnest watch in the collection. The dial is an 18K gold plate in sunburst olive green with applied baton-style hour markers and cheveu-style hands in white gold, hours and minutes only, on a shiny olive green calfskin strap with contrasting cream stitching and a white gold prong buckle.
The height comes from the movement. The self-winding calibre 240 is 2.53 mm high and 27.5 mm across, with 152 parts and 27 jewels, and winds through a 22K gold minirotor set off-centre and recessed into the movement rather than turning above it — the reason Patek Philippe calls it ultra-thin, and the reason the case is 5.9 mm. It runs at 21,600 semi-oscillations an hour on a Gyromax® balance with a Spiromax® balance spring, for a power reserve of at least 48 hours, and carries the Patek Philippe Seal. The case back is solid, and the case is water-resistant to 30 m.
For collectors
Patek Philippe presents this as the medium-sized case and still calls it the thinnest watch in the collection at 5.9 mm; the dial carries hours and minutes only, so the case shape and the sunburst olive green are the whole of the design.
Key details
Design and engineering
- Elliptical caseWhite gold, medium size, 31.1 × 35.6 mm with proportions Patek Philippe derives from the golden section, 5.9 mm high, with a solid case back; water-resistant to 30 m.
- MinirotorThe calibre 240's 22K gold winding rotor is small and off-centre, recessed into the movement instead of sitting above it, which is what holds the calibre to 2.53 mm and the case to 5.9 mm.
- DialSunburst olive green on an 18K gold plate, with applied baton-style hour markers and cheveu-style hands in white gold; hours and minutes only.
- Strap and buckleShiny olive green calfskin with contrasting cream stitching, closed by a white gold prong buckle.
