Patek Philippe - Patek Philippe Ellipse ref. 3605
The Patek Philippe Ellipse ref. 3605 is a bold interpretation of one of the brand’s most elegant and enduring designs. Introduced in the 1970s, the 3605 is part of the iconic Golden Ellipse family, distinguished by its harmonious proportions rooted in the golden ratio – a concept that has defined the model’s quiet sophistication since 1968.
Larger and more architectural than its slimmer siblings, the 3605 features a substantial 35mm x 40mm case crafted in 18k yellow gold. Its signature sunburst blue dial, free of clutter, radiates minimalist luxury, with applied gold baton markers and matching slim hands. Inside ticks the ultra-thin, self-winding Calibre 28-255C, the same movement that powered the original Nautilus 3700 – known for its reliability and thin profile.
The 3605 blends purity of design with mechanical finesse, making it a standout piece for those who appreciate understated opulence and vintage character.
This very example is uber special as of the rare “JPE” chain link bracelet in impressive condition, which has never been shortened. The dial itself is as impressive at least, bearing not a single sign of patina, perfectly preserved.
