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. And in the early 1970s, Patek expanded the Ellipse line to include squarish case shapes — immediately dubbed "TV Cases" or "Jumbo" by enthusiasts.

This piece, a Reference 3739, is once such example. Finished in solid 18K yellow gold, this svelte piece comes in at 36mm in diameter and features a stunning sunburst blue sigma dial with applied yellow gold indices and a matching dauphine handset, a signed crown, and an almost heart-stopping, integrated brick-link bracelet finished in solid yellow gold.

Absolutely fantastic.

With its eye-catching design, striking dial, and sensational bracelet, this is a standout timepiece appropriate for virtually any wrist!
