Man, I’ve been itching to remake a classic watch, you know, just for the fun of it. And I finally went for it! I picked the Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse, 5738R. That thing’s a beauty, right? Old school cool.

So, I started by digging around for info. Turns out, the design is based on something called the “golden section.” Some ancient Greek math stuff, a ratio of 1 to 1.6181 or something like that. Sounds fancy, but basically, it’s supposed to be, like, the perfect proportions. Divine, even, they call it. I just thought it looked neat.

Then came the fun part – figuring out how to actually build this thing. I found some info about how the case is rose gold, so I started with that. I don’t have the means to actually make a real gold case and I wasn’t going for an actual watch, but it was about the look so I started with modeling.

    Modeling Phase

  • Sculpting the Case: I sculpted the basic elliptical shape. This took a few tries to get the curves just right, matching those “golden” proportions.
  • Adding Details: Next, I carved in the little details. You know, where the watch face goes, the space for the crown, and all that.
  • Refining the Shape: This part was all about smoothing out the rough edges, making sure the whole thing looked sleek and polished. It was like giving the case a virtual spa day!

Once the case was looking good, I moved on to the watch face. I wanted it to have that classic black look, so I created a dark, textured material to simulate that. This involved playing around with a whole bunch of settings and textures until it looked just right.

    Texturing and Materials

  • Creating the Watch Face: Applied a dark, textured material to give it that classic, elegant look.
  • Adding the Hands and Markers: I made the hands and hour markers a simple gold color. This was the easiest part but needed to make them thin and elegant.
  • Details, Details, Details: I added the Patek Philippe logo and that “Golden Ellipse” text. It’s all about those little touches, you know?

After that, it was all about putting the pieces together. I positioned the watch face inside the case, lined up the hands, and made sure everything was centered and looking sharp. Kind of like assembling a tiny, very expensive puzzle.

Finally, I rendered the whole thing out. I messed around with the lighting until it looked like one of those fancy product shots you see in magazines. Took a while, but seeing the final result was totally worth it. The way the light hit that rose gold case, man, it was beautiful. A real tribute to the original, if I do say so myself.

So yeah, that’s my little watch-remaking adventure. It was a blast from start to finish. And hey, if you’re thinking about trying something like this, go for it! Just be prepared to spend a lot of time staring at your screen, ha!
