Patek Philippe - Patek Philippe 3958 Golden Ellipse Jumbo Auto Hobnail Factory Service
For sale is a mint condtion 31mm by 35.5mm 18-karat yellow gold Patek Philippe Jumbo Golden Ellipse Automatic Hobnail “Calellipse”. The 3958J was originally produced sometime during the 1980s and is fresh from a recent factory service, with the majority of its factory service warranty remaining. The Patek is accompanied by its original inner and outer boxes, factory service records, and a leather Patek travel pouch. In addition, a new OEM strap of the buyer’s choosing will be included in the sale.
The Golden Ellipse features a yellow gold case, which is accented by an extremely rare Hobnail “Clouse de Paris” finish bezel, which is identical to those that are found on Calatrava models from the 1980s and 1990s. The Patek is mounted on its original black calfskin backed lizard strap, which is secured by its original brushed solid yellow gold tang buckle. The Patek features a white porcelain dial with painted black Roman numeral hour markers and blackened 18 karat white gold hands. The movement used in the 3958 is the automatic Patek Philippe Caliber 240, which is running flawlessly and under factory warranty.
Condition:
The case contains crisp hallmarks and retains its factory service caseback sticker. The OEM lizard strap does contain a fair amount of wear, but a replacement OEM strap of the buyer’s choosing will be included in the sale. Overall the Patek remains in mint condition and has been preserved extremely well, and is a wonderful example of a seldom seen Golden Ellipse reference 3958.
About the Reference 3958:
The reference 3958 is a truly unique offering among Patek Ellipse models, being not only a rarely seen “Jumbo” but also one of the few Ellipse references featuring a hobnail bezel, with particularly scarce production numbers during its 1980s to early 90s production period. Furthermore, the 3958 combines the best aspects of the beloved 1980s and ’90s Calatrava Reference 3520 with the timeless elegance of the Jumbo Ellipse, hence the name “Calellipse.”
