Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse 3848

Patek Philippe Ellipse 3848 - 1995

Introduced in 1968, Patek Philippe's Ellipse owes its design to no accident. It is based on the golden ratio, considered the “divine proportion” found in nature as well as in the greatest works of architecture and art. The dials, made by specialist Singer for Patek Philippe, offer a simple yet striking contrast between the diamond hour-markers and hands in yellow gold and the blue dial with its sunray finish. Over the course of its production, four different types of dial were used. We have written a full article which you can discover here . The “Sigma σ” symbol present on the dial at 6 o'clock was introduced in the 1970s by the Association pour la Promotion Industrielle de l'Or (APRIOR), and highlights prestigious manufactures that use precious materials for their watches and indicates that the hands and indexes are made of gold, like the dial for this model. This version of the Ellipse, whose dimensions are very similar to the original model, is equipped with a hand-wound mechanical movement, caliber 215, which appeared in 1974 and is still in use today. Caliber 215 was the first to be equipped with Gyromax, operating at 28,800 beats per hour. This movement boasts remarkable stability over long periods, making it ideal for everyday use. The watch comes with its Patek Philippe certificate of origin, document holder and manuals.
