Patek Philippe Rare Handcrafts 5738

Patek Philippe's Rare Handcrafts 5738/50J-015 is a yellow gold Golden Ellipse wristwatch with a case measuring 39.5 mm. The case stands 6.58 mm thick, its elliptical proportions drawn from the golden section. A sapphire crystal covers the dial, which carries hand-engraving and miniature enamel painting and is set with diamonds. Inside is the calibre 240, a self-winding, ultra-thin movement with a 48-hour power reserve, driving the hours, minutes and a central seconds hand. The strap is alligator leather in shiny green, closed with a yellow gold pin buckle shaped to echo the case. Patek Philippe notes the case as humidity and dust protected only, with no water resistance rating given.
