The Patek Philippe Ellipse 3738 is a distinguished member of the Golden Ellipse family, celebrated for its harmonious oval shape based on the golden ratio. Introduced in the late 1970s, it features a refined 34mm by 38mm case crafted in precious metals such as yellow or white gold. The watch is fitted with an understated blue dial, typically with simple hour markers and slim hands that allow the elegant elliptical case to take center stage. Powered exclusively by Patek’s ultra-thin automatic Caliber, the 3878 offers smooth, precise timekeeping in a slender profile. Blending timeless design with technical finesse, the Ellipse 3878 remains a symbol of Patek Philippe’s mastery of proportion, minimalism, and horological sophistication. This very example is in impressive condition with no patina to the dial and only very light scratches to the case! It comes with the original buckle and box!
