We don't see enough of them
They have this very unique pure design that is so recognizable from Patek.
A proud owner!
Cheers, Mark
Still a joy to wear my Golden Ellipse...
... Definitely can't get enough of its dial ! Cheers to all Purists, Dan...
Strangely, I never thought, before watching your PP, about the meaning of the name of this model (Golden Eclipse)

Hi MTF. I only know a few persons who own it.
However, I think it is a kind of must in terms of dressed watches and a great embodiment of 1970\'s lifestyle. Yet it can be rather disturbing at first sight: no lugs (the watch seem to be laid on the strap), extreme simplicity, unusual case shape... It i...
Hi.
It is indeed small, especially the vintage ones. Mine is 32*27mm. However it contributes to its natural elegance and don\'t forget it was a normal size for a men\'s watch in the past. Nowadays it\'s like driving an old car contrasting with normal vehicles...
