Patek Philippe Original Golden Ellipse 1968 27mm

How it wears

Wears true to its 27 mm case size

Patek Philippe Original Golden Ellipse 1968 27mm measures 32 mm lug-to-lug on a 27 mm case, a lug-to-lug ratio of 1.19 against a database median of 1.18. That span is shorter than 98% of the 8,093 watches in this database and shorter than 98% of the 81 Patek Philippe watches listed.

A flat wrist width of 36 mm (1.42 in) or more keeps it in the balanced range, and from 43 mm (1.69 in) it starts to look compact. Below 32 mm (1.26 in) the lugs are likely to overhang the wrist. Flat wrist width is measured straight across the top of the wrist, not around it.
