Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse 40th Anniversary Watch Set

Filed under: Timepieces / Watches


40 years ago Patek Philippe released the first Ellipse watches to an appreciative audience who enjoyed the simple, yet slightly avant garde minimalist looks of the Ellipse watch line. Since then, the Ellipse watches have held a position of idle distinction in the Patek Philippe watch family. It is easy to not be impressed by their looks at first, but the easy to read design of the watch grows on you quickly. For their 40th anniversary, Patek Philippe has released a his and hers box set of two Ellipse watches complete with accessories. Finally, the cuff link shaped watch now comes with actual cuff links.

The larger version is 39mm x 34mm in size, while the smaller version is 35mm x 31mm in size. Both watches have highly polished platinum cases with 18k white gold hands and hour markers, and blue gold dials. The best part is that the watches are very thin (5.6mm high), but still contain automatic Patek Philippe built caliber 240 movements (2.5mm in height for the movement itself). The beautiful watch box includes settings for the two watches as well as cuff links for him, and a necklace for her. If I know anything about Patek Philippe, I imagine that the cost for each set will be between $50,000 and $100,000.
