Today, I wanna talk about how I got my hands on a Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse 5738R. It’s a pretty sweet watch, and I’ve been eyeing it for a while.
First off, I did a ton of research. I mean, you don’t just jump into buying a watch like this without knowing what you’re getting into. I was all over the internet, checking out different websites. I found out that this watch is inspired by something called the “golden section,” which is some ancient Greek math stuff. The ratio is like 1 to 1.6181, which supposedly looks really pleasing to the eye. Who knew, right?
I also learned that the value of these watches can change a lot depending on things like its condition, whether it comes with the original box and papers, and where you buy it from. So, I made sure to keep all that in mind.
Then came the fun part – actually looking for the watch. I compared prices and deals from different places. Some places were selling it for way more than others, and the taxes and stuff were different everywhere, too. It was a bit of a headache, but I finally found a good deal.
The watch itself is really something else. It’s got an 18k rose gold case, which is super fancy, and the design is just so sleek and classy. It’s got this automatic movement thing, called the Patek Philippe calibre 240. I don’t really get all the technical stuff, but it has 27 jewels, 161 parts, and it can run for about 48 hours without winding. Plus, it has a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, which is great because I’m kind of clumsy.
I ended up getting a 50th anniversary edition with a black dial. It looks really sharp with the rose gold case. I managed to find one that was “like new” from 2021, and it came with the original box and papers, which was a huge plus. The case is 34.5mm, which is a good size for my wrist. It’s not too big, but it’s not tiny either.

So, yeah, that’s my story of how I got my Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse 5738R. It was a bit of an adventure, but I’m glad I went through it. Now I’ve got a killer watch that I can show off, and I know a little bit more about the whole watch world.
