Introduced in 1968, the Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse collection is distinguished by a design inspired by the golden ratio, whose perfectly balanced proportions lend the watch a timeless elegance. Reference 4172/1 is a more compact version of the collection, likely produced over a relatively short period, estimated to be between approximately 1973 and 1978. Powered by a Calibre 16-250 mechanical movement, it embodies the refined and understated aesthetic that was so dear to Patek Philippe during the 1970s.
