Gentleman, in my opinion Ellipse is a watch.....
that is not easily distinguished. It is not a matter of a "Suit watch" or "Swimming trunks" watch. It is a watch of some aesthetical value designed for a true Aristocrat , a person whom you can see at an important function wearing a silk neckerchief from Hermes . Not your everyday retired bricklayer, although why not? Any one can have pursued to own this beauty. Best regards Edward
Please guide
I am new to PP world. I just saw a white gold golden ellipse and would like to purchase the same. Did a web search and saw prices which are thousands of $$ apart seemingly for the same exact watch (example, a HK seller with a price 10K less. I want to buy...
I have the WG Golden Ellipse
with a blue dial and 240 automatic movement. The watch is a bit smallish to my 8 inches wrist and thus I bought also the bigger platinum version. Let the Moderators correct me if I'm wrong but we do not give any price guidelines nor purchase advice here. ...
The TE says...
...he likes the Ellipse so why bring up the much more expensive and also totally different Nautili??? Yes, I know it is mainstream to like them, but he wants something else, why talk him into it? In particular, why "start" with stainless steel, which is q...
Everybody can do what they want.
If an opinion is asked, I tell what I think. I'm not a Guru whose opinion should be followed but I am trying to help a first timer. Golden Ellipse is an iconic Patek but for many of us it is a specialised watch looking better with suit than with swimming ...
Swimming pants?
The chap who inquired about the watch seems to like the Ellipse, most likely he has seen it in the flesh and tried it on. I did not read anything about swimming. Unless you live on a tropical island, which most people in the world dont, wearing a suit-com...

It is just me but
I have had the Ellipse for quite a long time and for me it is mostly a black tie watch. Best Kari
Thank you
I am most grateful for your reply. I didn\'t realize that some of my questions were verboten. So sorry, being a first timer, I wasn\'t conversant with the site\'s protocol. I saw a brown white gold ellipse w/brown strap and was smitten. The watch was very...
Okay, appreciated.
The WG Golden Ellipse is quite exciting and different. If you have some questions, please PM me. I can probably help you but not on the pages of this forum. There are always ways and means... Best, Kari

I guess it's a US number?
I'm in Finland just now and we have soon midnight. This week is pretty awful and I'll have still two foreign trips ahead of me. I will send my number and email as a Private Message. We can speak over the weekend. Use this PM function - it's quite useful. ...
Welcome on our forum Was :)

Hi Mark: Thank you for your most comprehensive note...very impressive. I can see now that this forum is for "real" (transient) connoisseurs, where the conversation is mostly about pros and cons (if any) of different watches. Fair enough, that is the right...
Very interesting reading
and I must say I understand and quite agree with all you said in a sense that the "investment" and "financial" parts of the subject may be interesting as well, first because it is part of the watchworld, it is interesting to know how it works and secondly...
Golden Ellipse is special.
My father owns 3 Golden Ellipses. They are rather unique and not seen too often in the wild. That is what makes them fun to wear. The watch is a timeless classic. I would recommend trying one on for fit and feel. When you are buying pre-owned make sure to...
Welcome to the PP forum.
I share very similar opinions regarding the inseparable aspect of our passion to watches and economics. It is indeed unfortunate that this and related forums ban economic discussions. Consequently the information posted are mostly love stories, news of up...
Golden Ellipse
Read your post and responses you received. It can be a perplexing journey to your first Patek given your research regarding the variables you've encountered thus far. Since you are in the US, I would encourage you to pursue obtaining your watch from an AD...
Welcome to the forum
That's a really interesting and unique PP you're considering for a first serious watch and I applaud you for that. Looking forward to reading and seeing that here when you do land it To your question, I believe many of them have been addressed in one way ...
