The Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse features a unique elliptical design based on the golden ratio, with a minimalist dial featuring only two hands and indices. Initially powered by a manual movement, it was updated in 1977 with the ultra-thin caliber 240, which is self-winding thanks to a micro-rotor. This particular version, the 3739/2, is made of 18k yellow gold and features a bracelet of the same metal. The watch is notably thin at about 5.5mm, giving it the appearance of a classic hand-wound dress watch. Its deep blue sunburst dial enhances its character, shifting in hue with light. Produced in limited quantities during the 1970s and 1980s, it aligns with the fashion for integrated bracelets.
