Finding a beautiful lighter bearing the name of one of the most prestigious watch brands is a rarity in itself, and since the Patek Philippe brand did not offer it publicly on the market, it is even more exclusive.

The Golden Ellipse lighter was produced in a very limited number of pieces in the late 1970s to early 1980s and was available in 18-karat yellow gold, 18-karat white gold and decorated with enamel.

Patek Philippe produced roughly 400 of the Ellipse lighter and to date only about 50 lighters are known to the public. 

The present lighter, reference 9507 in blue translucent enamel is only one of five blue lighters to appear on the market.

Below you will find a reference list of the known examples and the specific decors associated with them:

Ref. 9502: Louis-Philippe
Ref. 9505: Chevrons
Ref. 9504: Ocean
Ref. 9506 Red enamel
Ref. 9507 Blue enamel (like the present example)
Ref. 9508 Green enamel
Ref. 9511 Red and blue Khanjar
Ref. 9512-1 Chevrons and Enamel

This exceptional example has a very beautiful blue enamel decoration with a hardly noticeable mini defect on the outer blue rim. Not only is it in extremely good condition, but it is also the perfect addition to any collection.
