Introduced in 1968, the Patek Philippe Golden Ellipse stands as an iconic design within the Patek Philippe collection, distinguished by its bold and captivating proportions. The collection made its debut in 1968 with references 3546 and 3548, listed in the catalog until 1976, paving the way for subsequent models. The evolution continued with the introduction of references 3746 and 3748, both equipped with the caliber 215, marking a significant chapter until 1979. Notably, the ultra-thin ref. 3589 made its entrance in 1970, remaining part of the collection until 1979. The featured reference 3589, presented here, boasts a white-gold case meticulously preserved, enhancing its timeless appeal. The deep royal blue dial, adorned with applied baton and Roman numerals, adds an extra layer of sophistication to this exemplary timepiece. Powering this elegant watch is the esteemed LeCoultre-based movement, caliber 28–255, recognized as one of the most esteemed automatic movements of its era. Of particular significance, the reference 3589 was the first in Patek Philippe’s collection to adopt the LeCoultre base caliber 28 255, a movement that would later find its place in the renowned Nautilus ref. 3700. This historical connection adds an extra layer of prestige to this already distinguished timepiece, making it a sought-after treasure for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
