Patek Philippe, 5738, Black Motif Dial, Platinum, Leather Strap, 40mm - Limited 100

To mark the 50th anniversary of the Golden Ellipse, Patek Philippe introduced the 5738/50P‑001 in 2018 as an extraordinary limited edition of just 100 pieces.

Its 39.5mm case, crafted from polished platinum, embodies the iconic elliptical proportions inspired by the golden ratio, refined into an exceptionally slim profile.

What truly sets this model apart is its hand-engraved volute pattern radiating across a black Grand Feu enamel dial, beautifully executed using the champlevé technique on an 18k white gold base.

The delicate satin-finished white gold cheveu hands glide over this intricate surface.

Powered by the ultra-thin automatic Caliber 240, featuring a 22k gold mini-rotor, the watch maintains a fluid silhouette while providing a power reserve of at least 48 hours.

The solid platinum caseback is engraved with “Ellipse d’Or 1968–2018,” commemorating the lineage of this iconic design.

It comes paired with a hand-stitched black alligator strap and a platinum prong buckle echoing the watch’s graceful shape.

Each timepiece is presented in a special box alongside a pair of matching white gold cufflinks featuring the same enamel and volute motif—adding a rare layer of artistry and heritage to this already exceptional timepiece.
