A thin, elegant watch with an oval case whose proportions follow the golden section.

The Golden Ellipse came out in 1968 and was one of the first modern watches with a shape that was neither round nor square. The proportions were based on the golden section. The model has been made ever since.

Materials: Gold; thin movement

Manufacture: Made in Geneva; the dial was often blue with gold tones.

The oval case, a rectangle with rounded sides.

The dark blue dial without numerals.
