Description
Here is a vintage Patek Philippe Ellipse in solid 18k white gold and retaining the original Patek band and solid white gold Buckle. The watch is rather clean…some minor marks that would easily polish out but we left them. The watch looks fabulous on the wrist. The white dial is original with only the smallest, subtle age marks. The correct white gold Patek crown is present. The crystal is sapphire. The very fine manual winding Patek Philippe 19-jewel 23-300 movement was just cleaned and is very accurate. This watch is very early and dates to about 1969. The oval case measures 27x34mm lug-to-lug. The Ellipse was envisioned by Georges Delessert at Patek in the late 1960s. He described it as a “pleasing shape of an American highway junction seen from the window of an airplane.” You will likely wear this Patek Philippe and hand it down to a son or daughter.
