It was and still is a superb choice and ...
the cal. 240 is just the cherry on the cake:
Maybe it is not the hottest piece in todays market, but who cares. In the long-run and for me even today, it is a winner. In a perfect world I would like to own at least three different gold metals, but so far I failed to decide which one is the best for me as I think I am not crazy enough to get them all 
Congrats, it looks very nice on your wrist. Thanks a lot for sharing, with us!

Patek Philippe 3738/100G-012 white gold Golden Ellipse- almost 2 years review
It has been almost two years since I bought my Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse ( 3738/100G-012 in white gold). I do realise that this is one of the most basic (and humble) models but I think it might be an interesting contrast with other more sought-after a...
My WG Ellipse
sends regards. When I think about it, I should indeed wear it much more often. Best, Kari ...
amazing in white gold and blue Kari when did you..
get it ? I understand the the grey/white gold came out in 2005 or was it later ? Thanks for sharing the photo I do remember the watch and the comparison photos that you have kindly posted when I was deciding to buy it. Indeed you should try to wear it mor...
I found the watch a couple of years ago.
It was in perfect condition, with all papers and even the sales receipt. However, I took it to Patek Geneva and they made a full service plus delivered me two made-to-measure straps. The greatest joy was when they found from the spare parts in Geneva a sp...
I love the Ellipse
unloved red headed child of PP..... Saw the plat piece the other day- could go for that.... Thanks for rekindling my interest in such a an iconic piece Julian
For me the platinum is too large,
even my wrist is 8 inches. Golden Ellipse is supposed to be kind of understated simple dress watch. The platinum one is the size of modern oversized watches and the slimness is just emphasising that. That was my reasoning for going to the traditional size...
3738/100g-012 golden ellipse
i too like your golden ellipse , it wears nicely on you. i tried in an ad very comfortable. & its got the cal 240 movement with micro rotor very reliable automatic. continue to enjoy the watch. best geross
thanks Geross yes the movement ..
is very reliable and precise and the micro-rotor makes it even more special. Thanks for your kind comments that are much appreciated. Christian
Superb post Christian!
I have to confess that your pics really highlight the specific beauty of the Ellipse. The YG & blue dial is on my target list. Thanks a lot! Fx
The last two shots: perfect!
What one has to not forget about the watch: you can wind it with such a minute, small crown. That tells you all about the quality of the movement. Here design meets its perfect match in the movement, making it the slimmest Patek in the collection. Many th...
