Patek Philippe
Ellipse d’Or Wall Clock
A “like-new”, rare and impressive gilt brass oval-shaped quartz wall clock
Full-Cataloguing
- From the 80s to 90s, Inducta was commissioned by Patek Philippe to produce a series of wall clocks that took the appearance of the Golden Ellipse. These wall clocks were sought after by collectors as they were distributed to authorized retailers for display in their boutiques, so they were not easily accessible. This wall clock in “like-new” condition would be a rare opportunity for Patek Philippe enjoyers to possess such timeless icon of the watchmaker, and surely would be an eye-catching centre piece in the room.
