Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse Lady Ref. 4226 – 18k Yellow Gold – 18k Gold Sclae Pattern bracelet — Blue Sigma Dial – Rare

We are pleased to present this elegant and rare Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse Lady Ref. 4226, a refined ladies’ timepiece from the legendary Geneva manufacture Patek Philippe.

Crafted in 18k yellow gold, this sophisticated example beautifully reflects the timeless design philosophy that has made the Golden Ellipse collection one of the most distinctive creations in the history of modern watchmaking.

The graceful Ellipse-shaped case is inspired by the principles of the Golden Ratio, a mathematical proportion celebrated for centuries in art and architecture. Introduced by Patek Philippe in 1968, the Golden Ellipse quickly became an icon of minimalist elegance and refined aesthetics.

The highlight of this particular piece is its stunning blue Sigma dial, a detail highly appreciated by collectors. The deep blue sunburst dial features the small σ (Sigma) marks at the bottom, indicating that the applied hour markers and hands are crafted from solid gold—an important quality hallmark used by the Association pour la Promotion Industrielle de l'Or during the 1970s. The combination of the rich blue dial with yellow gold elements creates a beautiful and unmistakably classic appearance.

The slim case design allows the watch to sit elegantly on the wrist, perfectly embodying the understated sophistication for which the Golden Ellipse line is celebrated.

Inside the watch beats a finely finished manual-winding movement produced by Patek Philippe, ensuring both reliability and the exceptional craftsmanship expected from the manufacture.
