This reference combines the caliber 240 automatic movement with a fully integrated 18k rose gold bracelet, extending the elliptical design language across the entire watch. The case maintains its ultra thin profile, while the bracelet features finely articulated links that provide flexibility and comfort. The dial is presented in an ebony black sunburst finish with applied gold hour markers, maintaining clarity and symmetry. The movement remains visible through a sapphire case back, showcasing traditional finishing techniques.

The presence of the bracelet fundamentally changes the character of the watch. It moves from a discreet dress piece to a more assertive luxury object, while still retaining the elegance of the Golden Ellipse design. This is suited for collectors who want continuity between case and bracelet without sacrificing refinement.

Alternative Reference Context: Patek Philippe introduced the 5738/1R-001 as a distinct Golden Ellipse reference joining the existing 5738R-001, 5738P-001 and Rare Handcrafts 5738/51G-001. Its defining difference is the exclusive rose-gold chain-style bracelet.

Dial Variation: The documented factory configuration is ebony-black sunburst with rose-gold applied markers and hands. It should be treated as the standard dial for the 5738/1R-001, rather than combining it with the blue dial of the 5738P-001.
