Patek Philippe Ellipse

In 1968, Patek Philippe released the Golden Ellipse. Debuting eight years before the iconic Nautilus, the Ellipse—with its distinctive oval shape—was unlike anything else in Patek Philippe’s catalogs. This example, a Reference 3548J, is a unisex reference sized at 28mm X 32mm and features a solid 18k yellow gold case that wears significantly larger on the wrist - due in no small part to its oversized dial, thin bezel, and significant heft. With a jaw-dropping blue sunburst sigma dial, applied indices, gold handset, signed crown, and black leather strap with signed pin buckle -- not to mention an Extract Of The Archives from Patek Philippe confirming production and sale in 1973 -- this is nothing short of absolutely outstanding. Must be seen to be believed!
