Launched in 1968, Patek Phillipe's iconic Ellipse timepiece took inspiration from the golden section. Intriguing the minds of scientists and artists, this ancient mathematical concept has been featured in various pieces of art and natural compositions. The golden section, also known as "divine proportions", symbolizes the perfect equilibrium of shapes.
Through its disctinctive silhouette and linear oval case, the Ellipse became, throughout the years, a classic and one of Patek Phillipe's most acclaimed timepieces.
