Patek Philippe Jumbo 'TV' 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. And in the early 1970s, Patek expanded the Ellipse line to include squarish case shapes - immediately dubbed "TV Cases" or "Jumbo" by enthusiasts. This particular Reference 3604 is once such example. Finished in solid 18k white gold, this piece comes in at 37mm in diameter and features a fantastic silver micro-tapisseria 'sigma' dial with applied white gold indices and a matching handset, a signed crown, and a signed black crocodile strap with a matching, signed white gold pin buckle. Absolutely fantastic. 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!
