Deco !! Ellipse ×２

By: anaroku : November 4th, 2021-01:33

I love Golden Ellipse. The model seems to be popular because it uses the same type of movement as the original Nautilus 3700. But I prefer the modern models and 5738, both have an irresistible charm. My favorite point is the shape of the hand (perfect b...

Deco !! Ellipse ×２

It is in the running for the ultimate dress watch : )

I have the 5738P, it’s not as much of a dress watch as people think. I wear mine all the time, I even wear it with tracksuits😂 does many duties…

Very nice post, full of taste on your part...in my view, the 5738 reference (in both of its P and R iterations) is impossible to surpass in terms of sheer elegance! Pair it with its 3738 predecessor, and you have a truly unbeatable dress-watch duo! ;-)

Thank you FabR. Until a few years ago, I wasn't interested in Ellipse at all. No, I thought it was rather uncool. However, I became more and more attracted to them, and now I am captivated.

Agree, I saw one earlier this year at a US AD (I don't visit them as regularly as Italian ADs, but it's always fun when I do -- last time I "found" a 5131R still stored in a safe! ;-), and here's the R version, which is definitely a gem!

yes yes

Yep, that is precisely the number! ;-) The most important time I used this constant $\phi$ in a mathematical paper was probably when I was studying the growth of certain "differential posets" (I wrote quite a few things in this area while at MIT)....

A true scholar at his best!!!!

🙏🙏❤️

The R version is nice

Another pair of pants that unfortunately one of the bears stole from me after a trip to Geneva...but they were indeed quite cute! ;-)) Cheers.

Looking very dapper mon ami :-)))))

😉😍🥂

Seems like you are not the only one: no 3738 hardly available on C24

Sounds good, that'd be very interesting (and equally deserved for this reference! ;-)

mistook in my title sentence

Corrected, no problem👍

thanks every time

Nope, no typo there, but the 5131R was at a different AD (in a different US state) from the one that showed me the 5738R…the 5131 was a surprise also for me since that was my first visit, but sometimes small “miracles” may happen😉 Cheers.

OH IS THAT SO ? SORRY

No problem at all! ;-)) We are now big friends with that AD (and if they EVER sell this 5131R we decided that it will be mine, of course at MSRP....we'll see! ;-)

The PP Elipses are not my usual type of watch ... but the more I look at them the more they attract me ... one day probably ...

Bravo for this funky class reference.

I know what you mean ... 3738 j cal. 240

Superb Count, it really doesn't get much more elegant than this! ;-) Enjoy.

3738R is the King.

👍👍😍

I am happy to say ... the 3738 is the Queen 😇

Thank you my friend 🥃🥃

;-) Cheers.

Wow 🤩! You have

You guys have really poisoned my mind

If you have zero doubts, then go!

Thanks mon ami…

Go, then! ;)

Hard to resist! ;-)

Mon ami…

Thank you -- that is precisely what we are here for! ;-)) Seriously glad if this forum was of help my friend -- please make sure to share some wristshots if you pull the trigger, and to enjoy this beauty thoroughly!! :-) Cheers.

A really nice post, and adore your Elipses!!!
