Clueless_Collector's post highlights the enduring appeal of the Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse 5738R, a timepiece that, despite its 2018 release for the 50th anniversary, maintains a timeless aesthetic. This article delves into the nuances of this rose gold model with a black dial, exploring its design principles and collector reception. Clueless_Collector's personal journey of diversifying a collection beyond popular stainless steel sport models offers valuable perspective for new and seasoned collectors alike.
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.
Itโs a beautiful piece, and the fact that itโs double-signed, makes it even better. Best, V.
You must be speechless Iโm so clueless to buy such a Patek?! ๐
Although not limited, I think eventually there will even less than a hundred for this, wink wink ๐
The Golden Ratio has been around for hundreds of years so this inspired design will work for next generations too. Thank you i
Too bad the hype is taking over passion but I canโt change the fact, so I stand firm. Trend comes and goes ๐๐ป
For this model, itโs a solid case back!
