This Patek Philippe Ellipse reference 3848 is a refined and elegant example of one of the maison’s most recognizable designs. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, the case is paired with a deep blue sigma dial in excellent condition, distinguished by its minimalist layout and applied gold hour markers. Powered by the hand wound caliber 215, the watch reflects Patek Philippe’s commitment to precision and refined simplicity. The case shows light and honest signs of wear with slight discoloration on the caseback, consistent with age and careful use. Offered with its original box and papers, this Ellipse 3848 represents a complete and beautifully preserved example of Patek Philippe’s timeless aesthetic and one of the most iconic dress watches of the twentieth century.
