Patek Philippe Mini-Ellipse, ref. 4226/2 from the mid-1980s An elegant and classic Patek Philippe Mini-Ellipse from the 1980s. First introduced in 1973, the Mini-Ellipse quickly became a best-seller in the collection and remained a favorite throughout the decade. This example comes in 18k white gold with an integrated white gold bracelet and features a striking metallic blue sunburst dial with diamond hour markers at 12, 3, 6, and 9. The case measures 28 mm by 23 mm, offering a refined and understated design. Mini-Ellipse models have often been overlooked compared to Patek Philippe’s more famous Nautilus and Calatrava lines, but for collectors they represent a rare and intriguing alternative with growing appreciation. It is powered by a manual-winding movement and was serviced in April 2025 at a cost of 16,000 DKK. Delivered with service paper and original presentation box.
