Many thanks, I'm really glad the Golden Ellipse has been having a remarkable success in recent years, especially since it started to be featured in the Rare Handcraft catalog in 2018! :-)
The 5738/51G is indeed another beauty, and is the current version we have in regular production. It succeeds the 5738/50P, the gorgeous limited edition (in Platinum) released four years ago to commemorate the 50 years of the GE line 
Also very interesting, recently we started seeing some 5738s in enamel, among the (out-of-catalog) Rare Handcraft models that are released every year. If interested, this is the latest RH collection that I announced live for WPS on March 30 (I believe not all of these models are on Patek's site yet):
Hope to see the 5738/51G or any other of these incredible artworks on your wrist one day!

Our friend Fabrizio and I have been exchanging ideas for a strap change for this one.
He has given me some interesting suggestions. We shall see what develops. ...

The pearl will certainly match this particular piece! This stingray variant is not for all watches, and I think it was made for the 5088P!
Mesmerizing !
This timepiece is just love at first sight ! I was about to suggest you a dark purple alligator strap for this one but I’ve just seen in the comments that you already got it in mind 👌🏻 Thx for sharing and keep us posted !
Welcome to my forum Sir! Indeed a truly stunning Rare Handcraft piece, among my big all-time favorites specifically when it comes to the "hand engraving" technique! :-)
In case you are interested in acquiring one for your personal collection, this beauty is still in the current Calatrava catalog....but after nearly eight straight years, I wouldn't be "surprised" to see its retirement soon! Cheers. ...
Your forum is awesome!
And yes it won’t probably last for long but curious about their next « arty classy ». Also I think the golden ellipse version (5738/51G) is exquisite and might fit better on my wrist 🤔 but the Calatrava is just perfect on yours ! Once again thank you 🙏🏻 ...
