Patek Philippe
Ref. 5028G-001
Golden Ellipse
A “like-new”, highly rare and attractive elliptical-shaped white gold wristwatch with small seconds, Certificate of Origin and presentation box – single sealed
Full-Cataloguing
- Unworn and in a resealed condition
- Rare Ellipse reference with less than 500 produced
- Offered by the original owner and with all accompanying accessories
Produced exclusively in 18K white gold between 1997 and 2003, the present reference was made in fewer than 500 examples, making it one of the rarest modern iterations of the Golden Ellipse.
Stylistically close to the refined Calatrava ref. 5000G, the ref. 5028G houses Patek Philippe’s ultra‑thin calibre 240 with its distinctive micro‑rotor. A subtle but unconventional touch within the Ellipse lineage is the off‑centre small seconds at 4 o’clock, which adds a quietly modern flourish to the classic form.
With strong interest in Ellipse models today, this seldom‑seen ref. 5028G will appeal to discreet collectors seeking a highly limited interpretation of the Golden Ellipse that pairs rarity with timeless elegance. Offered by the original owner and accompanied by its full set of accessories — including the Certificate of Origin and presentation box.
