Introduced in 2008 for the 40th anniversary of the Ellipse, the reference 5738 is the first version of the famous design to be crafted in platinum.
While it remains faithful to the original proportions based on the golden ratio, the dimensions have been boosted to fit contemporary tastes.
Thanks to platinum case complemented with the signature blue dial, the legendary automatic 240 calibre and its perfect size, the 5738P is undoubtedly the most attractive Ellipse ever produced. As a fact, these timepieces rarely come up at auction.
This present lot is further enhanced by its very good overall condition as well as by being accompanied by its original accessories including the Certificate of Origin.
