Golden Ellipse 5738R

An oval-cornered case drawn on the golden ratio, 5.9 mm thick.

The Golden Ellipse dates from 1968. Its shape sits between a circle and a rectangle, with proportions based on the golden ratio.

This rose gold model has an ebony black sunburst dial, applied baton markers and a crown set with an onyx cabochon.

The ultra-thin calibre 240 is only 2.53 mm thick, which keeps the whole watch at 5.9 mm, the thinnest in the collection.
