Patek Philippe’s sporty watches may have grabbed all the headlines over the past few years, but now that trends are shifting toward smaller, dressier watches, it’s time for the Golden Ellipse to shine again. Patek Philippe launches the Golden Ellipse ref. 5738/1R-001 Replica in rose gold, with a matching gold chain bracelet attached to the famous round and rectangular case.
While Golden Ellipse watches with bracelets are certainly nothing new – they’ve been around from the early days of the series into the 1980s – this is the first larger model to go with them. Like the previous large Golden Ellipse Reference 5738 watch, this new version’s rose gold case measures 34.5mm x 39.5mm.
With a slender profile of just 5.9 mm, the Swiss Patek Philippe Replica is the slimmest watch in Patek Philippe’s standard production catalogue. While the Golden Ellipse is best known for its instantly recognizable case, the star attraction here is the soft link bracelet. Each piece is assembled piece by piece by hand, and the bracelet can be lengthened or shortened as needed. The buckle is engraved with a pattern that echoes the bracelet and includes three adjustment notches.
Patek Philippe Replica Watches generally divides its metal bracelets into several categories: chain bracelets, which are handmade by craftsmen, and “mechanical” bracelets, which are produced from a single metal bar on a CNC machine and then assembled and finished by hand. Golden Ellipse’s new link bracelet combines these two technologies with components produced on CNC machines, then hand assembled and hand finished.
The ebony black sunburst dial features baton-style applied hour markers and slim Chievo-style hands, all made of rose gold. To match the color of the dial, the crown is set with a black agate cabochon. The ultra-thin Caliber 240 automatic movement is equipped with a mini-rotor that provides the Cheap Patek Philippe Replica with a 48-hour power reserve. It is located under a solid rose gold caseback and drives a pair of hour and minute hands. The 2.53mm-thick movement consists of 161 parts and operates at a frequency of 21,600 times per hour.
I have no doubt that the new Golden Ellipse ref. 5738/1R-001 will be one of the most talked about models at Patek Philippe first copy watches. The vintage Golden Ellipse piece is already a fan favorite on the vintage market, so this stunning modern iteration will capture the hearts of many. Golden oval reference number.
