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.
