Golden Ellipse 5738R, released in 2018 to celebrate the 50th anniversary.

While the Pt mode with Blue dial is also stunning, I think the RG with Black dial looks great.

Thanks for the feedback from previous post query so here it is.

While the hot focus is on the SS Sport model, I like diversity.

















About the Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse Ref. 5738

The Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse reference 5738 represents the white gold iteration of the model with a blue dial configuration. This reference distinguishes itself within the Golden Ellipse range through its precious metal case construction and contrasting dial treatment, positioning it among Patek Philippe's dress watch offerings.

The 5738 features an 18k white gold case measuring 34.5 x 39.5 mm with polished bezel treatment and sapphire crystal protection. The automatic caliber 240 movement provides 48 hours of power reserve, housed within a case offering 30 meters of water resistance. The blue dial is paired with a leather strap configuration.

This reference appeals to collectors seeking a precious metal Golden Ellipse with distinctive dial color. In production since 2018, the 5738 offers an alternative to traditional dress watch proportions while maintaining the model's characteristic case shape. The white gold construction and blue dial combination provides collectors with a specific material and aesthetic variant within the Golden Ellipse lineup.
