Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse – Ref. 3548 in White Gold

The Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse Ref. 3548 is one of the defining creations of the Geneva-based manufacture. As the first Golden Ellipse, introduced in 1968, it established a model line that remains successful to this day. Its harmonious proportions are based on the Golden Ratio and lend the watch a timeless elegance that has delighted collectors for decades.

The example offered here features an 18-carat white gold case and the coveted blue Sigma dial with the characteristic Sigma symbol at 6 o'clock. The deep blue dial is considered one of the defining features of the Golden Ellipse and gives the watch its unmistakable appeal.

Measuring 27 x 32 mm, the Golden Ellipse wears surprisingly modern and elegant thanks to its slim construction and balanced case shape. It fits perfectly around the wrist and is suitable both as a classic dress watch and as a stylish everyday companion.

Inside beats the Patek Philippe manufacture calibre 23-300, one of the finest hand-wound movements of its time. The watch has been recently overhauled and is in very good overall condition.

The Patek Philippe archive extract is available. The watch is fitted with a new leather strap and is worn with a non-original Patek Philippe pin buckle.

A rare Golden Ellipse Ref. 3548 with a coveted blue Sigma dial, recently overhauled and in very beautiful condition – an excellent opportunity to acquire one of Patek Philippe's most iconic dress watch designs.

The watch has been fully overhauled by our atelier.
