I'm not completely sure, but here's what I found:
According to Hodinkee, the "double P" crown was introduced for the caliber 12-600 AT, which, according to Revolution dates back to 1953.
And, according to watch-guy.com, the calatrava was added to the plain crown around 1955.
I hope this is good information: you can check all the links for yourself...
Best, Emmanuel

So classy !
The Patek Philippe ref. 3548 , here in white gold with a sunburst blue Beyer signed dial, is the original 1968 Golden Ellipse . 27 x 32 mm case. Caliber 23'''300. I love it. What about you? Best, Emmanuel credit: Tahoma Watches ...
Looks great!!
Love it paired with jeans! Big fan of wearing whatever you want with whatever you want!!
I’m a very big fan of this too!
I’ve always worn my precious watches as much as I could in as many situations as possible. Best, Emmanuel
Beautiful in blue, quattro!
Been waiting for one at the right size/price to come along, but perhaps a slate dial for me...and a tad larger...
Slate could be great too.
I love the rose gold/chocolate dial combo too... Best, Emmanuel
Hi Emmanuel, this ellipse is especially
classic looking ! 👍 Love the blue dial ! Your next target 🎯?
I love the watch, but I think a rose gold case looks even better with the blue dial.
Emmanuel, you are one of the history experts here, when did Patek start signing their crowns? It’s a small detail but I think all watches look better with the company logo there. Thanks.

Yes, this very first Ellipse is really nice!
And hand-wound, which is better for me. Best, Emmanuel
Not mine, unfortunately, as the photos credit show.
But I'd definitely be very happy with one. Maybe someday. Best, Emmanuel
