Ellipse
Sold
The Era of a new watch!
When Patek Philippe introduced the Ellipse at the end of the 1960s, the manufacture deliberately questioned the shapes that were common at the time. Instead of opting for the usual round or rectangular design, they sought proportions based on the golden ratio. The result was a watch whose case shape still stands for perfect harmony today. The Ref. 3546 is one of the earliest interpretations of this idea, combining avant-garde boldness with classic restraint.
The silver-colored dial with Roman indices is in very good condition and shows a fine, even patina. Towards the edge of the case, it develops a subtle, slightly brownish hue that gives the dial a special depth and distinctive character.
The 27x33 mm white gold case is in very good condition. The watch has been freshly serviced and is technically flawless. It is fitted with the Patek Philippe hand-wound Calibre 23-300, a slim and finely decorated in-house movement that stands for precision and the highest level of watchmaking craftsmanship.
The watch dates from 1970 and comes with its extract from the archives.
The ensemble is rounded off by the original Patek Philippe white gold pin buckle.
