When it comes to the “Queen of K-Pop Fashion,” one name that cannot be overlooked is Jennie of BLACKPINK. Every look, every accessory she wears has the power to set a global trend. Recently, what captured the attention of fans and fashion enthusiasts worldwide was a timepiece often referred to as the “King of Watches” — a true symbol of beauty, luxury, and timeless prestige.
During a short break from the group’s DEADLINE world tour, Jennie shared a glimpse of her private getaway in Italy. Among the highlights was her serene boat ride across the romantic waters of Lake Como, where she was spotted wearing the Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse Ref. 4764 — a rare vintage quartz watch so luxurious and elusive that the entire world took notice.
Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse (Ref. 4764)
First introduced in 1968, the Golden Ellipse was crafted under the principles of the “Golden Ratio” (1:1.618), resulting in a perfectly balanced elliptical case that symbolizes harmony and timeless elegance. The Ref. 4764, produced during the 1980s, features an 18K gold case, a deep blue dial, and a classic leather strap — a combination of understated simplicity and refined sophistication.
As a vintage masterpiece, it has become exceptionally rare, with prices soaring in auctions. At a Christie’s auction in 2017, the Ref. 4764 fetched over USD 150,000 (approx. THB 4.8 million). This exceptional heritage has earned it the title of the “King of Watches” — a piece that embodies classic luxury and remains a collector’s icon around the world.
Her relaxed look by Lake Como proved once again why Jennie is considered a global luxury icon. The way she effortlessly combines ease, charm, and high fashion into her everyday style makes the Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse not just a rare timepiece, but a statement of modern-day elegance.
