Patek Philippe self-winding 18K gold Ellipse Ref. 3738J with champagne dial, Made circa 1980

The Patek Philippe Ellipse was ‘born’ in 1968 and has been a celebrated icon of Patek Philippe ever since. Its design is inspired by the Golden Section, the ‘divine’ proportion of the ratio 1 to 1.6181 which is the founding design principle seen in art, architecture and nature.

The first examples of the famed ref. 3738 were launched in 1978. It was not until 1984 that we see the first (and more familiar) ref. 3738/100J. This example of the 3738 features an opaline gilded dial with Roman numerals It is a dial that gives this Ellipse reference a completely new and attractive aesthetic. Recently serviced and ready to wear.
