1:1.6181 - The Golden Section!

The perfect ratio, the perfect proportions. Discovered by the Greek mathematicians and distilled in the ratio 1:1.6181 - the golden ratio. The Patek Philippe Ellipse d'Or reflects exactly this ratio with its elliptical case shape.

Our Ellipse d'Or with the reference 4226 has a beautiful, deep blue dial. Housed in an 18-karat yellow gold case and clasp. More timeless elegance for a lady's wrist cannot be found.

The case is in beautiful condition with only slight signs of wear. The alligator strap is new.

The watch comes with the original warranty papers, sale date 14.11.1979 and the original box.

The watch has been fully serviced by our atelier.

In review & preparation

Coming soon

Every watch offered at Artisans of Time has been personally selected, examined, and appraised by Linus. After his assessment, the watch is sent to a certified watchmaking workshop. There, the authenticity of the watch is verified once more. This is followed by a functional check for accuracy and water resistance, as well as general maintenance, during which wear parts such as seals are replaced if necessary.
