Patek Philippe - Ellipse ‘Skeleton Grail’
Golden 🔱 Labyrinth
A Patek Philippe ref. 3880 — an Ellipse unlike any other. Crafted in 18k yellow gold, this openworked marvel reveals a fully hand-engraved skeleton movement, each bridge sculpted into swirling arabesques of light and shadow. The case measures 33 × 28 mm and features the signature cabochon crown, paired with a glossy black strap and gold Ellipse buckle.
According to the Archive Extract, the watch was made in 1989 and comes with a Patek Leather Pouch. This is one of the ultimate expressions of Patek Philippe’s artistry — a watch that transcends horology and enters the realm of sculpture. Among the rarest Ellipses ever produced, the 3880 stands as a pinnacle of design and craft, celebrated by collectors and even spotted on @lilyachty wrist. A masterpiece of movement and form, it remains one of the most significant Ellipse references ever made — a true grail for any serious Patek collector.
