Patek Philippe Rare Handcrafts 5738

Patek Philippe's Rare Handcrafts 5738/50G-047 is a Golden Ellipse in white gold, the case measuring 39.5 mm across and 6.58 mm thick. The proportions follow the golden section of the ellipse shape. The dial is a wood marquetry portrait of a Northern Pintail, built from dozens of veneer species in shades of watery green, and the piece is set with diamonds. Central seconds is shown by cheveu-style hands stamped in white gold. The calibre 240 is an ultra-thin self-winding movement with a 48 hour power reserve. The strap is alligator leather in shiny olive green, hand-stitched, closed by a white gold prong buckle. The case is humidity and dust protected only, with no water resistance rating.
