The Most Underrated Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse Watch

Anticipating a change in watch tastes, Cheap Patek Philippe Replica prophetically released the Golden Ellipse in a move that would hint at the Nautilus, but today the ‘divine proportion’ of the dress watch classic is often overlooked.Most have historically been created the same, with svelte round cases and silvered or champagne-coloured dials, the kind that most guys have squirrelled away for when they break out the dinner jacket. In the 1960s however, watch tastes were beginning to change.

The beginnings of mass production at this point meant that watches in general were getting cheaper, with the inkling of what we’d today call fashion watch brands offering cheap, but decidedly not cheap-looking timepieces. Mostly though, at least in dress Patek Philippe Replica Watches, they stuck to that 50s template; round with a silver dial.

The gorgeous curve of the Golden Ellipse is satisfyingly beautiful and matches the 1/1.6181 ratio the ‘divine proportion’ is mathematically expressed as. It’s definitely the most likely of the two theories. However, I prefer the other, that it was taken from an airplane window’s view of an American highway, if only because it ties nicely into the porthole shape of the Nautilus a few years later.

Impressive as the case was however, it was just one part of the original Ellipse’s success. What might at first look like a standard sunray blue dial is far from it. This being Patek’s take on modern luxury, the dial was actually made from blue gold. Today blue is a rarity; then it was unheard of.

You get blue gold by plating solid gold with a mix of cobalt and 24K gold, which is easier said than done. You can’t just use an electric bath like gilding a movement. Instead AAA Patek Philippe Replica had to use a cutting-edge technique of vacuum plating. The result was worth it. With simple hour markers, the dial spoke for itself with the surety of a confident orator.

It’s coming back into prominence a little with the resurgence in watchmaking of all things 70s, but most modern buyers still gravitate towards the myriad Patek Philippe Calatrava Replica models instead. Perhaps they’re more confident with the standard circular shape, perhaps it’s simply that the Calatrava is more of a core part of Patek Philippe. It could be something as simple as the small, 34.5mm diameter.

With party season here the dress replica watches are out, and if you’re looking for the perfect finishing touch to your midnight blue dinner jacket, then there’s none better than this.

Patek Philippe: Highlights, Trends, and Predictions in 2022

Trending Patek Philippe Models

With a brand that’s known for its innovations and forward-thinking, it can be challenging to predict what the Cheap Patek Philippe Replica year ahead will look like — but that doesn’t mean we can’t try.

The Nautilus

Patek Philippe Nautilus Moonphase 5712 1A

A green dial model, ref. 5711/1a-014, and a Tiffany blue model, ref. 5711/1a-018, marked the end of a 16-year production run for the Nautilus 5711.

Despite this sad goodbye, models like the Patek Philippe Nautilus Replica Watches 5990, 5726, and 5712 remain in production. These references will be forced to share more publicity and emphasis with other Patek Philippe collections like the Calatrava dress watches and Aquanaut sports watches.

The Aquanaut

Patek Philippe Aquanaut ref. 5167A-001

With or without a matching steel bracelet, the Aquanaut 5167 is the only game in town for Swiss Replica Watches For Sale collectors seeking a simple sports watch from Patek Philippe — which is why we’re including it on our list of top-selling Aquanauts this year.

With the 25th anniversary of the Aquanaut happening, there is room for Patek to launch a new model — perhaps a 6167A — to carry the mantle of Patek sports watches after the 5711. A new movement, a new bracelet, new dial colors, and a new reference all could energize the now quarter-century-old Aquanaut model line.

The Calatrava

Patek Philippe reference 96 Quality Replica Watches was the first watch launched under the Sterns, the first Patek to have a reference number, and — retroactively — the Patek Philippe 96 became the first model in what came to be called the “Calatrava” family of dress watches.

Patek Philippe has announced its intention to discontinue the Calatrava 5196 for 2022, so a successor model may arrive soon. But, before any new reference can take its place, many 1:1 Replica Watches will likely be enticed by the collection’s existing dress watches that showcase a similar spirit to the beloved 5196.

Patek Philippe Ref. 7121/200G Moon Phases Replica Watches Online Outlet

The Patek Philippe Ref. 7121/200G Moon Phases Replica is presented in a 33mm white gold Officer’s-style case featuring a bezel dressed in brilliant-cut diamonds.

PATEK AND WOMEN’S WATCHES

It took almost 60 years for another women’s bracelet watch to hit the scene. Patek Philippe picked up the mantel in 1868, producing a yellow gold number on a matching bracelet. With a dial crafted in enamel and a case bedecked with diamonds, this treasure was sold to Countess Koscowicz of Hungary in 1876.

So why am I taking this particular stroll down Cheap Patek Philippe Replica memory lane? Because many brands sideline women when it comes to Haute Horlogerie options. If there are ‘women’s’ models to be had, they are usually dolled up versions of the men’s in a scaled down case. Patek Philippe has always figured women prominently in its offerings. Remember when it released the brand’s first in-house, hand-wound chronograph calibre in 2009? It was introduced in the Ref. 7071R ‘Ladies First Chronograph’.

PATEK PHILIPPE REF. 7121/200G MOON PHASES – 215 PS LU CALIBER

The Patek Philippe Ref. 7121/200G Replica Watches From China bears all this prestigious lineage. First off, notice the 33mm case dimension is nearly identical to D.O. Wickham’s repeater. Another mechanical coup for female horophiles is that the calibre keeping time is the smallest complicated movement that Patek Philippe makes: the manually wound 215 PS LU caliber with moon phases and small seconds. You can see it ticking away through the curved sapphire case back.

AN INKY BLUE SUNBURST DIAL

While the previous Copy Patek Philippe Watches offered a yellow gold case and silvery-coloured grained dial, this one comes in a white gold frame and an inky blue, sunburst dial that resembles the colour of an evening sky. The sunburst treatment gives a cool shimmery effect depending upon the angle of the light.

At 6 o’clock is where the complication sets in. The aperture displays the phases of the moon to an accuracy of one day in a century plus 22 years. Contemplate that: If you bought the Moon Phases Swiss Replica Watches now and kept the wound, it would outlast you in accurately keeping track of the moon phases.

The dial is framed by an orbit of 132 brilliant-cut diamonds set in a staggered pattern called “Dentelle”, which is a lace-style setting technique offsetting two rows of stones. The sparks coming off the bezel make it look like there are more rows of diamonds than there are.

A 33MM OFFICER’S-STYLE CASE

The Patek Philippe Ref. 7121/200G Moon Phases Best Replica Watches Site 2022 comes in a 33mm Officer’s-style case that has straight lugs and screwed-in strap bars. It wraps around the wrist with a hand-stitched, shiny blue alligator leather strap with prong buckle.

Throughout the centuries, Patek Philippe Replica has demonstrated it cares about and values its female patrons. They are an integral and important part of their past, present – and hopefully will remain so into the future. The Ref. 7121/200G Moon Phases is yet another exquisite example of their commitment in keeping us adorned through time.
