Patek Philippe Ellipse Gubelin

Double signing equals double fun

With its divine proportions, the case of the Golden Ellipse, launched in 1968, has undoubtedly inspired one of the most beautiful chapters in horological history. Thanks to this unique blend of bold simplicity and formal purity, this watch has become one of the flagships of the Patek Philippe collection and certainly one of its most recognizable creations.

This two-tone stunner from Patek is made of 18k yellow gold. The contrast between the cream and champagne colors on the Sigma dial gives the watch an exquisite appearance and a pure beauty that cannot be captured on screen.

This ellipse from 1982  features an automatic movement and measures 31 x 35, making the watch extremely wearable.

The dial says ‘Gubelin’, which is a Swiss jeweler who sold watches with their own name on the dial. Which nowadays only happens on rare occasions.

This could be the dress watch of a lifetime, come and experience this at Reestraat 3 Amsterdam

Backstory

All the way back in 1839, Franciszek Czapek and Antoni Patek founded Patek, Czapek & Cie. in Geneva. The two Polish watchmakers manufactured pocket watches until an argument drove them apart in 1845. Patek teamed up with French watchmaker Adrien Philippe and in 1851, Patek, Philippe & Cie. was officially registered and the story of arguably the finest of watch manufacturers was truly underway.

The company would amass an impressive array of firsts and records. Among which the first perpetual calendar pocket watch, first split-second chronograph wristwatch, first perpetual calendar wristwatch and for twenty-seven years they held the record for most complicated watch movement: 33 complications.

Yes, we have entered the realm of haute horology.

The house registered its Calatrava cross logo in 1887. The Calatrava would later become one of the brand’s celebrated collections and even a design template for other brands.

Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin form what is lovingly referred to as the Holy trinity of watchmaking. Three houses that specialized in haute horology, pushing the boundaries of mechanical watchmaking, decoration and finishing techniques.

Much like Rolex and Omega rule the everyday-watch category, the Holy trinity rules haute horology. A sentiment reflected in Patek’s motto since 1996: You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation.
