Patek Philippe Rare Handcrafts 5738

Patek Philippe's Rare Handcrafts 5738/50G-049 is a white gold Golden Ellipse watch measuring 39.5 mm across the long axis and 6.58 mm thick. The dial is worked in cloisonné enamel with miniature painting, depicting an owl, and is set with diamonds. A sapphire crystal covers the front. Inside runs the self-winding calibre 240, an ultra-thin movement with a 48-hour power reserve, driving central seconds along with the hours and minutes. The hands are stamped in white gold, cheveu style, to suit the elliptical case. A chocolate brown alligator leather strap closes with a white gold prong buckle shaped to match the case. Patek Philippe notes the case guards against humidity and dust only, with no water resistance rating.
