This ratio has intrigued artists and philosophers alike and is visually perceived as a perfect balance. This oval design, which combines both simplicity and purity has become one of the most recognizable creations in the Patek Philippe collection of watches.
This anniversary set meant for two is the perfect choice for people whose unity is just as balanced as the proportions of the Golden Ellipse.
