"Special" numbers like Pi and Phi are usually determined by the ratio of two quantities. The units you use to describe these quantities is irrelevant, as the result is always the same.
Same with the description of a sphere that someone mentioned.
Your statement is a bit like saying "the distance between New York and Tokyo is greater if you measure it in km rather than miles."
