Originally debuted in 1968, the Golden Ellipse model designed by Patek Philippe has transcended the formality of employing only traditional shaped wristwatches. Its bold case design of balancing between roundness and rectangularity have led to what watch connoisseurs consider as a golden ratio.

Our reference 3848, also known as the mid-size model comes in outstanding condition and a stunning blue sigma sunburst dial with the Patek Philippe Cal. 175 including the original strap and buckle from Patek Philippe.
