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 3589J, features a solid 18k yellow gold case with a lovely gloss black crocodile leather strap with a matching signed yellow gold pin buckle, a stunning sunburst blue sigma dial with applied yellow gold indices and a matching pencil handset, and Patek's automatic-winding Calibre 28-255 movement inside. Furthermore, this piece remains in fantastic overall condition and comes with an Extract from the Archives confirming original sale on 5/15/1974. Watches such as this one are fun and wonderful timepieces, and there's no telling if and when one of these in any condition will surface again, so don't wait!
